To assess marked central canal T2-hyperintensity in patients with myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) myelitis compared to myelitis patients with aquaporin-4-antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4 + NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS).
MATERIAL/METHODS: Two blinded raters evaluated spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) of myelitis patients with MOGAD (n = 63), AQP4 + NMOSD (n = 37), and MS (n = 26), assessing for marked central canal T2-hyperintensity and its evolution. If there were conflicting results, a third neurologist assessed the MRI.
Marked central canal T2-hyperintensity was more frequent in patients with MOGAD (18/63[29%]) than MS (1/26[4%]; p = 0.01) myelitis but did not differ from AQP4 + NMOSD (13/37[35%]; p = 0.49). Marked central canal T2-hyperintensity had completely resolved on follow-up axial MRI for most MOGAD (12/14[86%]) and AQP4 + NMOSD (10/10[100%]; p = 0.49) patients.
Marked central canal T2-hyperintensity is a common transient radiologic accompaniment of MOGAD and AQP4 + NMOSD myelitis, but not MS myelitis.
评估髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白抗体相关性疾病(MOGAD)性脊髓炎患者与水通道蛋白 4 抗体阳性视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病(AQP4+NMOSD)和多发性硬化(MS)性脊髓炎患者相比,中央管 T2 高信号的显著程度。
材料/方法:两名盲法评估者评估了 MOGAD(n=63)、AQP4+NMOSD(n=37)和 MS(n=26)性脊髓炎患者的脊髓磁共振成像(MRI),评估中央管 T2 高信号的显著程度及其演变。如果存在不一致的结果,由第三位神经科医生评估 MRI。
MOGAD(18/63[29%])性脊髓炎患者的中央管 T2 高信号比 MS(1/26[4%];p=0.01)性脊髓炎更常见,但与 AQP4+NMOSD(13/37[35%];p=0.49)性脊髓炎无差异。大多数 MOGAD(12/14[86%])和 AQP4+NMOSD(10/10[100%];p=0.49)患者的随访轴位 MRI 显示中央管 T2 高信号完全消退。
中央管 T2 高信号是 MOGAD 和 AQP4+NMOSD 性脊髓炎的常见短暂放射学伴随表现,但不是 MS 性脊髓炎的伴随表现。
