脊髓型鞭击损伤综合征的MR诊断

MR diagnosis and clinical management of whiplash injury syndrome of spinal cord

目的认识脊髓型鞭击损伤综合征的MR影像表现。方法本文从数百例脊椎外伤,选择最后诊断为脊髓鞭击损伤综合征的21例MR资料做回顾性分析(均进行轴位T2、矢状位T1WI和T2WI扫描,部分加冠状T2WI扫描)。结果MR检查能安全迅速客观地反映脊髓损伤程度,推测判断预后。结论MR检查是脊髓鞭击损伤综合征的首选检查方法;早期确诊,对临床早期治疗、早期康复有其不可估量的临床意义和特殊价值。

Objective To study the MR manifestations of whiplash injury syndrome of spinal cord. Methods MR images of 21 cases diagnosed as whiplash injury syndrome were retrospectively studied. Those images included transverse and sagittal views and coronal scan had been performed in some cases. Results MRI inspection safely and objectively reveals the extent of the spinal injury,and helps the anticipation of the prognosis. Conclusion MRI is the first choice of the imaging modalities assessing the whiplash injury syndrome of the spinal cord. An early diagnosis is valuable to clinical management and rehabilitation.
