Serebral yağ embolisi: BT’nin sınırlı görünümü

Özet

Uzun kemik kırığı veya ortopedik girişimden sonra gelişen nörolojik bozulmada serebral yağ embolisi olasılığı vardır; mikrovasküler embolizasyon beyin dokusunda yaygın hasar yapabilir. Kontrastsız beyin BT'si serebral yağ embolisinde sıklıkla normal ya da özgül olmayan görünür; bu inceleme daha çok nörolojik bozulmanın diğer intrakraniyal nedenlerini araştırmaya yarar. Serebral yağ embolisinde kontrastsız BT genellikle normaldir; parankim ve mikrodolaşım tutulumunu değerlendirmek için difüzyon ağırlıklı MRI ve SWI daha duyarlıdır. Normal BT serebral yağ embolisini dışlamaz; parankim etkilenimi için MRI daha duyarlıdır.

Faz ve pencere

Kontrastsız tanısal

Kontrastsız BT genellikle normal bulunur; beyaz cevherde hipodensite veya makroskopik emboli gibi bulgular yerine diffüzyon ağırlıklı MRI 'yıldızlı alan' paterni ile saptanır. Kontrastsız BT genellikle normaldir; mikrovasküler emboli ve yaygın mikrodolaşım hasarı MRI'da (özellikle DWI ve SWI dizilerinde) daha iyi karakterize edilir.

Önerilen pencereler: Beyin (G 80 / M 40).

BT bulguları

• Normal erken BT — gri-beyaz cevher ayrımı, ventriküller ve sulkuslar belirgin anormallik göstermeyebilir.
• makroskobik yağ embolisi bulgusu — BT'de normal kan sütunundan düşük dansiteli intraluminal odak; bu bulgu son derece nadirdir ve çoğunlukla venöz sistemde izlenir.
• Yağ dansitesinde intraluminal odak — arter içinde negatif HU'lu embolik materyal; hava kadar düşük dansiteli olmayabilir.
• Periventriküler beyaz cevher hipodensitesi — özgül olmayan ödem veya küçük lezyonlar; BT'nin mikrovasküler hastalığı gösterme duyarlılığı sınırlıdır.
• yaygın serebral ödem — ileri olgularda özgül olmayan bulgu olarak izlenebilir; ancak erken dönemde BT genellikle normal bulunur ve bu bulgular mikroskobik emboliyi dışlamaz.
• Peteşiyal mikrokanama — serebral yağ embolisinde MR susceptibility-weighted imaging ile gösterilebilir; BT mikroskobik kanamaları daha az duyarlı saptar.

Normalde

Normal BT'de kaudat ve lentiform çekirdekler, talamus, sentrum semiovale ve periventriküler beyaz cevherde gri-beyaz cevher sınırı seçilir; ventriküller ve sulkuslar açıktır. Karşı hemisfer MCA'nın lümen dansitesini, bilateral derin gri cevherleri ve periventriküler beyaz cevheri kıyaslayın; simetrik normal görünüm mikroskobik yağ embolisini dışlamaz.

Ayırıcı tanı

akut tromboembolik tıkanma

ayırıcı tanı açısından değerlendirilir; makroskopik yağ embolisi bulguları BT'de son derece nadirdir ve genellikle venöz sistemde izlenir.

Hava embolisi

BT'de hava en düşük dansitededir; yağ göbeklerinin attenuasyonu negatiftir ve kaynaklarda -26 ile -81 HU aralıklarında raporlanmıştır.

hipoksik-iskemik hasar

benzer nörolojik bozulmaya yol açabilir; ancak CFE tanısı için klasik triad ve tipik MR bulguları (yıldızlı alan paterni) dikkate alınmalıdır.

Toksik/metabolik ensefalopati

tutulum beyaz cevher, korteks, talamus ve bazal gangliyonları değişen örüntülerde etkileyebilir; bu dağılım tek başına CFE'ye özgü değildir.

Travmatik aksonal hasar

lezyonlar gri-beyaz bileşke ve korpus kallozumda görülebilir; DAI'de odaklar CFE'deki yaygın dağılıma göre daha az sayıda, büyük ve lineerdir.

Tuzaklar

• Serebral yağ embolisinde erken beyin BT'sinin normal olması yaygındır; normal BT ile tanıyı dışlamayın.
• Hipodens arter işareti ve tromboz — BT'de emboli tipini ayırt etmek için lezyonun attenuasyon değeri kritiktir; yağ göbekleri negatif HU gösterirken trombüsler farklı densitede olabilir.
• Yağ ve hava ayırımı — Rutin beyin penceresinde ikisi de koyu görünebilir; ancak yağ göbeklerinin attenuasyonu negatif HU ile nicel olarak ölçülebilir ve bu ölçüm emboli tipinin ayırt edilmesinde kritiktir. Hava ve yağ dansitesi — BT'de emboli tipini doğrulamak için nicel attenuasyon ölçümü gereklidir; yağ göbekleri için kaynaklar negatif HU değerleri (-26 ile -81 HU) bildirmektedir.
• Beyaz cevherde dağınık hipodensite yağ embolisine özgü değildir; BT'yi MR'daki yıldızlı alan paterni yerine koymayın.

Kendini dene

1. Femur kırığından sonra bilinç değişikliği var; ilk kontrastsız beyin BT'si normal. Serebral yağ embolisi için doğru ifade nedir?

   • Normal BT tanıyı dışlamaz
   • Tanı kesin olarak dışlanır
   • BT yıldızlı alanı gösterir
   • Yağ yalnız venöz sinüste görülür
   Cevabı göster

   Normal BT tanıyı dışlamaz. Serebral yağ embolisinde beyin BT'si çoğu kez normal veya özgül olmayan görünür; küçük mikrovasküler hasarı MRI daha duyarlı saptar. Yıldızlı alan paterni BT değil DWI MRI bulgusudur; emboli yalnız venöz sinüsle sınırlı değildir.

2. Serebral yağ embolisinde BT genellikle normaldir; mikrodolaşım tutulumunun değerlendirilmesinde en duyarlı görüntüleme yöntemi hangisidir?

   • Kontrastsız BT
   • Difüzyon ağırlıklı MRI (DWI)
   • CT anjiyografi
   • Transkraniyal doppler
   Cevabı göster

   Difüzyon ağırlıklı MRI (DWI). Kaynaklar (S35, S47, S54), BT'nin sıklıkla normal olduğunu ve mikrovasküler hasar/yıldızlı alan paterninin difüzyon ağırlıklı MRI ile daha iyi saptandığını belirtir.
