摘要

简介:隧道征(沿皮质脊髓束的线性对比增强)可帮助早期诊断神经髓样病,这种病可能致命,需要紧急诊断:隧道征(沿皮质脊髓束的线性对比增强)可帮助早期诊断神经髓样病,这是一种需要紧急诊断的潜在致命疾病:我们回顾性分析了印度南部一家三级医院 2018 年至 2023 年期间所有经培养确诊的髓鞘炎患者的住院数据。我们对神经髓鞘病患者的核磁共振扫描进行了复查,以确定是否存在隧道征:在177名髓鞘虫病患者中,21人可能受累于神经系统。7例确诊为神经髓鞘病。6 名神经髓鞘病患者接受了核磁共振扫描,其中 4 人出现了隧道征:我们报告这项研究的目的是让医生意识到在疑似神经髓鞘病患者中应注意这一征象。

Tunnel sign in patients with melioidosis: a case series from South India.

Introduction: The tunnel sign (linear contrast enhancement along the corticospinal tract) can aid in the early diagnosis of neuromelioidosis, a potentially fatal condition requiring urgent diagnosis.

Methodology: We retrospectively analyzed the hospital data of all patients with culture-confirmed melioidosis between 2018 and 2023 in a tertiary care hospital in South India. MRI scans of patients with neuromelioidosis were reviewed for the presence of the tunnel sign.

Results: Of the 177 patients with melioidosis, 21 had possible neurological involvement. Seven had confirmed neuromelioidosis. Of the six patients with neuromelioidosis, where an MRI scan was available, a tunnel sign was noted in four.

Conclusion: We report this study to create awareness amongst physicians to look for this sign in patients with suspected neuromelioidosis.
