Abstract

A morphometric CT study was performed on 17 children who were in a persistent vegetative state. Four cases with compromised brain stem function (group 1) showed a significantly smaller lateral pontine ratio (LPR, width of pons/greatest internal diameter between temporal bone) than the remaining 13 cases with preserved brain stem function (group 2) and controls. LPR was considered a useful indicator of brain stem atrophy and to correlate well with brain stem function.

摘要

对17名处于持续性植物状态的儿童进行了形态学CT研究。4例脑干功能受损的患儿（第1组）的脑桥外侧比率（LPR，脑桥宽度/颞骨间最大内径）显著低于其余13例脑干功能保留的患儿（第2组）及对照组。LPR被认为是脑干萎缩的一个有用指标，且与脑干功能密切相关。
