Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the safety and feasibility of convection-enhanced delivery of autologous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for enhancing intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the basal ganglia during stereotactic neurosurgery.

Methods: This pilot study was conducted in 4 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who underwent MRI-guided deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi). CSF was obtained via lumbar puncture after general anesthesia and prior to incision. A frameless stereotaxy system was installed, and an infusion catheter was inserted to the GPi using intraoperative MRI. Infusion of autologous CSF was performed at a convective rate of 5 µL/min with a maximum volume of infusion (Vi) of 500 mL. T2-weighted MRI scans were obtained every 15 min up to a maximum of 105 min in order to calculate the volume of distribution (Vd). Safety was assessed with adverse event monitoring, and clinical outcomes were measured with changes in unmedicated UPDRS part III and PDQ-39 scores from baseline to 6 months postoperatively.

Results: All four infusions were safe and without adverse events. The mean unmedicated UPDRS part III and PDQ-39 scores improved by 24% and 26%, respectively. The Vd:Vi ratio ranged from 2.2 to 2.8 and peaked 45 min from the onset of infusion, which is when the borders of the GPi could generally be visualized based on T2-weighted MRI. Two patients underwent refinement of the stereotactic targeting based on infusion-enhanced images.

Conclusions: The convective administration of autologous CSF to deep brain structures appears safe and feasible for enhancing intraoperative MRI during stereotactic procedures. Infusion-enhanced imaging with target-specific infusates could be developed to visualize neurochemical circuits or cellular regions that currently are not seen with anatomic/structural MRI.

立体定向和功能性神经外科在mri引导下的深部脑刺激手术中，自体脑脊液对流增强输送增强基底神经节的可视化。

简介:本研究的目的是确定对流增强输送自体脑脊液(CSF)以增强立体定向神经外科术中基底节区磁共振成像(MRI)的安全性和可行性。方法:本初步研究对4例帕金森病(PD)患者进行了mri引导下的内苍白球(GPi)深部脑刺激。在全身麻醉后和切口前通过腰椎穿刺获得脑脊液。安装无框架立体定位系统，术中MRI将输液管插入GPi。以5µL/min的对流速率输注自体CSF，最大输注量(Vi)为500 mL。每15分钟进行t2加权MRI扫描，最长105分钟，以计算分布体积(Vd)。通过不良事件监测评估安全性，并通过未用药UPDRS part III和PDQ-39评分从基线到术后6个月的变化来测量临床结果。结果:4次输液均安全，无不良反应。未用药的UPDRS第三部分和PDQ-39平均评分分别提高了24%和26%。Vd:Vi比值在2.2 ~ 2.8之间，在注射开始后45 min达到峰值，此时MRI t2加权一般可以显示GPi的边界。两名患者在输液增强图像的基础上进行了立体定向靶向的改进。结论:在立体定向手术中，自体脑脊液对深部脑结构的对流给药对于增强术中MRI是安全可行的。针对特定目标的输注增强成像技术可以用于观察目前解剖/结构MRI无法看到的神经化学回路或细胞区域。

期刊介绍： ''Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery'' provides a single source for the reader to keep abreast of developments in the most rapidly advancing subspecialty within neurosurgery. Technological advances in computer-assisted surgery, robotics, imaging and neurophysiology are being applied to clinical problems with ever-increasing rapidity in stereotaxis more than any other field, providing opportunities for new approaches to surgical and radiotherapeutic management of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and spine. Issues feature advances in the use of deep-brain stimulation, imaging-guided techniques in stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactically implanted and guided radiotherapeutics and biologicals in the treatment of functional and movement disorders, brain tumors, and other diseases of the brain. Background information from basic science laboratories related to such clinical advances provides the reader with an overall perspective of this field. Proceedings and abstracts from many of the key international meetings furnish an overview of this specialty available nowhere else. ''Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery'' meets the information needs of both investigators and clinicians in this rapidly advancing field.
