摘要
分析20例空蝶鞍综合征(ESS)的MRI表现和其中16例的内分泌改变。结果16例ESS均有内分泌功能异常。MRI表现有蝶鞍充满长T_1和长T_2的脑脊液;垂体受压至鞍底,冠状位呈“锚”状,矢状位呈“新月”状;垂体柄延长。结果表明ESS常具有内分泌功能紊乱,MRI对ESS具有特征性诊断意义。
his study analyzed 20 cases of empty sella syndrome(ESS)diagnosed by magnetic reso-nance imaging(MRI).Sixteen patients examined for endocrine function were all accompanied bydiHerent endocrine disturbances.The MRI characteristics of ESS were that CSF filled in thesella,the pituitary gland was flattened to the bottom and the pituitary shank stretched down-ward,the pituitary gland looked like an 'anchor' in the coronal section. The results showed thatESS could be characteristically diagnosed by MRI. The etiology and pathogenic mechanism ofESS was also discussed. Vascular defect and autoimmunity of pituitary gland may play an impor-tant etiological role in ESS.
