The diagnosis of herniated thoracic disks has historically been confusing for the clinician and difficult for the radiologist. Its protean manifestations lead it to mimic many diseases including spinal cord tumors and degenerative diseases. Radiographically, its diagnosis has been difficult by both routine radiography and myelography. Our two cases demonstrate post-metrizamide (Amipaque) myelogram computed tomography to be a valuable aid in the diagnosis of herniated thoracic disks.
从历史角度来看,胸椎间盘突出症的诊断对于临床医生而言一直令人困惑,对放射科医生来说也颇具难度。其多种多样的表现致使它容易与包括脊髓肿瘤和退行性疾病在内的多种疾病相混淆。在影像学上,通过常规X线摄影和脊髓造影来诊断该病都很困难。我们的两个病例表明,甲泛葡胺(阿米培克)脊髓造影计算机断层扫描在胸椎间盘突出症的诊断中是一种很有价值的辅助手段。
