Bickerstaff encephalitis: Clinical and magnetic resonance follow-up studies

Bickerstaff脑炎的临床与磁共振随访调查

1) We present a patient with Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis in whom MR imaging correlated with the clinical findings during the course of the disease.

本文作者报道1名Bickerstaff脑干脑炎患者在病程中磁共振与临床征象的相关性。

2) T2-weighted MR imaging showed increased signal intensity in the medulla oblongata, upper pons, pendunculi cerebelli and the cerebellum.

T2-加权MRI(磁共振影像)显示延脑、上桥脑、小脑脚与小脑信号增强。

3) In the course of the disease the lesions on MRI tended to descend more caudally.

在病程中，MRI损害常呈尾部递减。

4) No anti-GQ1b antibody titers could be detected in the acute phase of the illness.

在急性期中，未测出抗GQ1b抗体滴度。

5) Our findings suggest that MRI is the most valuable diagnostic tool in supporting the-clinical diagnosis of Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis and may be helpful in the distinction between Miller Fisher syndrome and Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis.

本研究结果提示，MRI是支持临末诊断 Bickerstaff脑干脑炎最有价值的手段，有助于区分Miller Fisher综合征与Bickerstaff脑干脑炎。
