The role of neuroimaging in neurocutaneous disorders is an evolving field. Research can be inconsistent and inconclusive, leading to divergent practice for some disorders. This study provides an overview of the current role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in select neurocutaneous disorders, namely Sturge-Weber syndrome, congenital melanocytic naevus syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1, tuberous sclerosis complex, incontinentia pigmenti and basal cell naevus syndrome. Future research assessing new targeted treatments and novel MRI techniques may change current practice.
神经影像学在神经皮肤疾病中的作用是一个不断发展的领域。研究结果可能不一致且不确定,导致某些疾病的治疗方法存在差异。本研究概述了磁共振成像(MRI)在几种神经皮肤疾病中的当前作用,包括斯特奇-韦伯综合征、先天性黑色素细胞痣综合征、神经纤维瘤病 1 型、结节性硬化症、色素失禁症和基底细胞痣综合征。未来评估新的靶向治疗和新型 MRI 技术的研究可能会改变当前的治疗方法。
