The imaging findings in a case of panamebic meningoencephalitis and in a case of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, two rare infections of the central nervous system caused by amebae, are presented and the world literature is reviewed. The brain CT findings in panamebic meningoencephalitis are nonspecific; our case showed diffuse edema. In the case of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, there was evidence of large arterial occlusions and MR demonstration of spinal cord infarctions.
本文报告了两例由阿米巴引起的罕见中枢神经系统感染——泛阿米巴脑膜脑炎和肉芽肿性阿米巴脑炎的影像学表现,并对世界文献进行了综述。泛阿米巴脑膜脑炎的脑部CT表现无特异性;我们的病例显示为弥漫性水肿。在肉芽肿性阿米巴脑炎病例中,有大动脉闭塞的证据,磁共振成像显示脊髓梗死。
