Old MRA evaluation of blood supply in meningiomas.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Old MRA evaluation of blood supply in meningiomas [Abstract] Objective magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in patients with meningiomas of the old blood for evaluation. Methods 50 cases of meningioma in patients aged over 60 MR and MRA examination, application of MPR, MIP three-dimensional reconstruction of meningiomas blood supply were observed. Results 50 cases of meningioma in 32 cases the external carotid artery, external carotid artery in 18 cases of double blood supply; 15 cases and 8 cases of temporal skull base meningiomas of intracranial large vessels will be over, oppression; blood artery showed a cluster distribution of meningioma. vein was “hold ball” located in the tumor surface, back to a nearby superficial vein or venous sinus, sinus involvement in 11 cases. Conclusions can be displayed through the application of MRA artery meningioma, draining vein, the tumor and the relationship between the great vessels and the intracranial sinus tumor and the relationship between sinus. [Keywords:] meningioma; angiography; magnetic resonance imaging Meningiomas are common intracranial tumor outside, the higher incidence of middle age. Most of the blood supply of meningiomas, clinical treatment with surgery, if the lack of preoperative preparation is often caused by heavy bleeding, lead to unnecessary danger . Therefore, to fully understand the meningioma preoperative blood supply, venous sinus invasion, and adjacent to the operative procedures or instructive. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information October 2006 to June 2008 in our hospital, 50 patients were diagnosed as meningioma CT or MRI in patients before surgery magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) examination, in which 31 males and 19 females , aged 60 to 80 years. 1.2 Inspection Methods Siemens 1.5T superconducting MRI machine production. First determine the scanning range of plain and enhanced scan lines, scan parameters, the sequence: three-dimension
