Based on an own material of 19 patients with syringomyelia and on the related literature a survey is given on the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, postoperative evaluation and the dynamics of CSF and cyst fluids, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The following conclusions can be drawn: 1. MRI is the preferred method of investigation for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of syringomyelia. 2. Using MRI, it is possible to study fluid flow in the vertebral canal and the movements of the syrinx fluid. The data are as yet limited, but in the future will form an important contribution to our understanding of the pathogenesis of syringomyelia and to the choice of a treatment method. 3. MRI is important for the postoperative follow-up of patients with syringomyelia, including tracking the cyst and detecting complications.
基于19例脊髓空洞症患者的自身资料并结合相关文献,对脊髓空洞症的诊断、鉴别诊断、术后评估以及脑脊液和囊肿液的动态变化进行了综述,采用了磁共振成像(MRI)技术。可得出以下结论:1. MRI是脊髓空洞症诊断和鉴别诊断的首选检查方法。2. 利用MRI,可以研究椎管内的液体流动以及空洞液的运动。目前数据有限,但未来将对我们理解脊髓空洞症的发病机制以及治疗方法的选择做出重要贡献。3. MRI对脊髓空洞症患者的术后随访很重要,包括追踪囊肿和检测并发症。
