Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of three-dimensional T1-weighted spoiled gradient-recalled echo (3D T1-GRE) images for the preoperative anatomical evaluation of lumbosacral lipoma, thick filum terminale, and myelomeningocele as a means of compensating for the drawbacks of 3D heavily T2-weighted (3D hT2-W) images.

Methods

Nine patients with lumbosacral lipomas, one patient with tight filum terminale, and five patients with myelomeningoceles were included in this study. 3D T1-GRE images were compared with 3D hT2-W images or conventional magnetic resonance images in terms of delineation of lipomas and other structures in the patients with lipomas and tight filum terminale. For patients with myelomeningoceles, 3D T1-GRE images were compared with 3D hT2-W images in terms of artifacts in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space.

Results

The 3D T1-GRE images demonstrated lipomas with good contrast to the spinal cord and CSF space and more clearly delineated the anatomical relationship between lipomas and these structures than did the 3D hT2-W images. The 3D T1-GRE images delineated dural defects through which extradural lipomas penetrated into the intradural space. The 3D T1-GRE images also demonstrated the presence or absence of lipomas in the filum terminale and the absence of artifact in the myelomeningoceles. Furthermore, they were useful for differentiating artifacts observed on the 3D hT2-W images from nerve elements.

Conclusions

The complementary use of 3D T1-GRE and 3D hT2-W images may compensate for the drawbacks of 3D hT2-W images and may eventually improve lesion visualization and surgical decision making.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
