Extensive MR signal change in the craniad spinal cord parenchyma was found to be an ancillary sign of disease advancement in three patients with clinically progressive posttraumatic syringomyelia. This craniad margin of parenchymal spinal cord T2 hyperintensity resolved after cystoperitoneal shunt placement. There was a concomittant reduction or disappearance of the cyst in each instance, a halt in the progression of neurologic deficit, and some reversal of signs and symptoms.
在3例临床症状呈进行性发展的创伤后脊髓空洞症患者中,发现颅侧脊髓实质内广泛的磁共振信号改变是疾病进展的一个辅助征象。在进行囊肿-腹腔分流术后,脊髓实质T2高信号的颅侧边界消失。在每例患者中,囊肿均有缩小或消失,神经功能缺损进展停止,部分体征和症状有所逆转。
