摘要
目的 分析突聋患者的内耳钆造影MRI三维真实重建反转恢复(three dimensional real inversion re-covery,3D real IR)成像上的表现,探讨血-迷路屏障的通透性与突聋发病机制及其预后的关系.方法 对41例单侧突聋患者行内耳钆造影MRI,测量患耳和健耳的耳蜗信号强度,并测量延髓信号强度,分别计算出耳蜗/延髓比值(cochlear/medulla ratio,CM ratio),以CM比值作为血-迷路屏障通透性的标志物,分析突聋患者患耳、健耳CM比值的不对称程度与疗效之间的关系.结果 41例患者中,33例(80.48%)患耳的CM比值高于健耳,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);患耳CM比值为健耳的1.5倍以下者18例,治疗有效率为77.78%(14/18);患侧CM比值不高于健侧者8例,治疗有效率为100%;达到健耳的1.5倍至1.75倍之间者7例,治疗有效率为100%(7/7);达到健耳的1.75倍至2.0倍之间者2例,治疗有效率为50%(1/2);达到健耳的2.0倍以上者14例,治疗有效率为14.28%(12/14);差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 内耳3D Real IR可显示突聋患者血-迷路屏障通透性的改变,80.48%的突聋患者患侧耳蜗出现高信号,患耳CM比值达健耳的1.75倍以上者多数预后不良.
Abstract
Objective To study the inner ear appearance on three-dimensional real inversion recovery(3D re-al IR)imaging in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss,and to investigate the relationship between blood-labyrinth barrier permeability and pathogenesis and prognosis of sudden hearing loss.Methods A total of 41 pa-tients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss received 3D real IR at 3.0 T MRI,and the signal intensity of inner ear were recorded.We respectively measured cochlear signal intensity in affected and healthy ears,and medullary signal intensity,and calculated the cochlear/medulla ratio(CM ratio)separately.On the basis of CM ratio,we evaluated hearing levels at initial and after treatment,and the relationship between CM ratio and hearing prognosis.Results Among the 41 patients,33 cases(occupying 80.48%)individually had a higher CM ratio in the affected ear than in the healthy one.The CM ratio of the affected side was not higher than that of the healthy side in 8 cases,and the ef-fective rate was 100%,eighteen cases had below 1.5 times the CM ratio in affected ears as in healthy ears,with 77.78%effective rate of treatment;seven cases had 1.5 to 1.75 times,with 100%effective rate;two cases had 1.75 to 2 times,with 50%effective rate;and the rest 14 cases had over 2 times,with 14.28%effective rate(P<0.05).Conclusion The variation of blood-labyrinth barrier permeability in patients with sudden hearing loss can be read on the 3D Real IR,and it indicates that 80.48%patients have higher-intensity signals in lateral cochlea.The CM ratio can be adopted to evaluate the extent of inner ear damage of patients more accurately.As the CM ratio ri-ses,patients'prognosis become worse,and patients with over 1.75 times the CM ratio in the affected ear as in the healthy one,mostly suffer poor prognosis.
