We report a series of five patients operated on for hindbrain-related syringomyelia with posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty. In all cases an early postoperative MRI was performed (24-36 h after surgery). These images have been compared with the preoperative ones and with those obtained, 1, 3 and 6 months after operation. Both before and after surgery there was not always a tight correlation between clinical and MRI pictures. In all but one patient the early postoperative MR images showed a reduction of syrinx size and were as to those obtained later. We discuss the results observed in our small series and analyze the role of early postoperative MRI studies in patients with hindbrain-related syringomyelia.
我们报告了一系列五例因后脑相关性脊髓空洞症接受后颅窝减压和硬脑膜成形术的患者。所有病例均在术后早期(术后24 - 36小时)进行了MRI检查。这些图像已与术前图像以及术后1个月、3个月和6个月获得的图像进行了比较。手术前后,临床和MRI图像之间并不总是存在紧密的相关性。除一名患者外,所有患者术后早期的MR图像均显示脊髓空洞大小减小,且与后期获得的图像一致。我们讨论了在我们的小样本系列中观察到的结果,并分析了术后早期MRI研究在患有后脑相关性脊髓空洞症患者中的作用。
