We report a patient with biopsy proven chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy whose magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abnormal enhancement of the cauda equina after administration of gadolinium. Enhancement may reflect alteration of the blood-nerve barrier secondary to inflammation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cauda equina could be a useful adjunct in the early diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
我们报告了一名经活检证实为慢性炎症性脱髓鞘性多发性神经病的患者,其磁共振成像显示在注射钆后马尾神经有异常强化。强化可能反映了炎症继发的血神经屏障改变。马尾神经的磁共振成像可能是慢性炎症性脱髓鞘性多发性神经病早期诊断的有用辅助手段。
