目的判断T2加权梯度回波(GRE-T2WI)通过检测脑微出血来预测高血压性脑出血患者血肿扩大的可行性。方法选取2011年6月至2014年6月我院收治的高血压性脑出血患者107例为研究对象,患者均进行CT及GRE-T2WI检查,判断其是否存在脑微出血,并...目的判断T2加权梯度回波(GRE-T2WI)通过检测脑微出血来预测高血压性脑出血患者血肿扩大的可行性。方法选取2011年6月至2014年6月我院收治的高血压性脑出血患者107例为研究对象,患者均进行CT及GRE-T2WI检查,判断其是否存在脑微出血,并于入院后24小时及72小时复查CT观察血肿变化情况。结果 107例患者中通过GRE-T2WI检查发现,共有56例患者存在脑微出血。72小时CT显示,脑微出血患者中19例血肿进展,发生率为33.9%;无微出血患者中5例进展,发生率为9.8%。脑微出血患者72小时后血肿扩大4~19 m L,平均(13.2±3.5)m L;无微出血患者血肿扩大1~16 m L,平均(9.7±3.4)m L。两类患者血肿进展率及血肿扩大量相比,差异具有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论通过GRE-T2WI观察高血压性脑出血患者是否存在脑微出血,对预测患者是否存在继续出血意义重大,可根据GRE-T2WI结果给予及早干预,减少血肿进一步扩大可能。展开更多

The magnetic susceptibility effect of deoxygenated hemoglobin in red thrombi may result in hypointense signals on T2*-weighted gradient echo imaging (GRE). We tested the hypothesis that a GRE susceptibility vessel sign (SVS) is specific for cardioembolic stroke. Methods -This retrospective study examined data from acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent diffusion-weighted imaging, GRE and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) within 24 hours of stroke onset and who had symptomatic occl usion of large intracranial arteries in the circle of Willis. Hypointense signals within vascular cisterns on GRE corresponding to symptomatic vascular occlusio n were termed “GRE SVS.”Recanalization was assessed on follow-up MRA performe d within 7 days of onset. The relationships between GRE SVS and stroke subtypes and subsequent recanalization were explored. Results -Of the 95 patients who me t the inclusion criteria, GRE SVS was observed in 45 (47.4%). GRE SVS was more commonly associated with cardioembolic stroke patients (31 of 40, 77.5%) than w ith other stroke subtypes (14 of 55, 25.5%; P < 0.001). In 66 patients who unde rwent follow-up MRA, GRE SVS was associated with subsequent recanalization (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that GRE SVS was an independent predictor of cardioembolic stroke and subsequent recanalization (odds ratio, 10.75 and 4.2 6; 95%CI, 3.68 to 31.47 and 1.12 to 16.30). Conclusions -GRE SVS may predict c ardioembolic stroke and subsequent recanalization. Identifying clot composition may be important in choosing the optimal treatment based on clot characteristics .展开更多
