Abstract

The practical usefulness of computed tomography with intrathecal metrizamide in imaging the brain stem is illustrated in six examples where the lesions were misdiagnosed on intravenously enhanced computed tomography, angiography, or air study. Focal and diffuse atrophic changes of the brain stem were demonstrated in symptomatic patients where none of the other radiographic or clinical investigations were conclusive. Metrizamide computed tomography is probably the most sensitive method for imaging lesions in and around the brain stem and cerebellopontine angle.

摘要

鞘内注射甲泛葡胺的计算机断层扫描在脑干成像中的实际应用价值，在六个病例中得到了体现。在这些病例中，病变在静脉增强计算机断层扫描、血管造影或空气造影检查中被误诊。有症状的患者显示出脑干的局灶性和弥漫性萎缩性改变，而其他影像学或临床检查均无定论。甲泛葡胺计算机断层扫描可能是成像脑干及小脑脑桥角内和周围病变最敏感的方法。
