ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss MRI appearance of the cerebral schistosomiasis and its clinical value through analyzing the MRI features and post surgery pathological findings. Methods MRI features of the cerebral schistosomiasis in 16,pathologically ( n =6) or clinically( n =10) proved cases were analyzed etrospectively,and compared with the post surgery pathological findings in 6 cases. Results Single masses were found in 11 cases (11/16),and multiple masses in 5 cases(5/16), amounting to 23 masses . fifteen masse(15/23) were located in right cerebral hemisphere,including frontal lobe ( n =2),frontoparietal lobe ( n =5) ,and occipitoparietal lobe ( n =8), while 8 masses (8/23) in left cerebral hemisphere,including frontal lobe ( n =1),frontoparietal lobe ( n =3), and occipitoparietal lobe ( n =4).The nodular masses were isointense with the gray mass like "island", and 12 cases (12/16) show the "gigantic hand" form of edma around them. After IV administration of Gd DTPA,15cases (15/16) revealed multiple closely spaced,intensely enhancing nodules,1 3 mm in diameter,distributed throughout the mass. Seven cases misdiagnosed by CT were revised by MRI. Conclusion The MRI appearance of the cerebral schistosomiasis is characteristic,and MRI is the most valuable tool to diagnose it without injury.
