Dynamic MR imaging was used to evaluate a cervical syrinx in an adolescent boy with an associated hindbrain herniation. Null artifacts were present on one of the sequences that allowed simultaneous high-resolution visualization of syrinx fluid motion and the anatomy of the syrinx walls. A brief review of the theories of syrinx formation and propagation is provided with a comment on why the Williams "slosh" theory of syrinx progression is supported by our unique imaging.
动态磁共振成像用于评估一名青少年男孩的颈椎脊膜膨出,该男孩伴有后脑疝。其中一个序列存在零伪影,该序列允许同时高分辨率地观察脊液运动和脊膜囊壁的解剖结构。本文简要回顾了脊膜膨出形成和传播的理论,并就为什么我们的独特成像支持威廉姆斯“晃动”理论来解释脊膜膨出的进展进行了讨论。
