摘要
目的:在多发性硬化症(MS)和偏头痛患者两组队列中,研究(i)“中央静脉征象”(CVS)的患病率,(ii) CVS阳性病变(CVS+)的空间分布,(iii) CVS+病变能够高灵敏度和特异性区分MS和偏头痛的阈值。方法:对70例MS/临床孤立综合征患者和50例年龄和性别匹配的偏头痛患者进行3-T磁共振成像扫描。CVS根据现行指南进行评估,排除了8名没有出现白质(WM)病变的偏头痛患者。进行受试者工作特征曲线分析,以确定CVS+病变的比例和CVS+病变的绝对数量来区分MS和偏头痛的最佳阈值。结果:CVS阳性和CVS阴性病变的体积不同(MS队列中位数为1043 mm3 vs 176.5 mm3;偏头痛队列的中位数为35.1 mm3 vs 52.2 mm3;结论:基于CVS比例的阈值为35.0%,能够以高灵敏度和特异性区分MS和偏头痛。“select 6”算法可能在临床环境中有用。
The "central vein sign" to differentiate multiple sclerosis from migraine.
Objective: To investigate, in two cohorts including patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and migraine, (i) the prevalence of the "central vein sign" (CVS), (ii) the spatial distribution of positive CVS (CVS+) lesions, (iii) the threshold of CVS+ lesions able to distinguish MS from migraine with high sensitivity and specificity.
Methods: A total of 70 patients with MS/clinically isolated syndrome and 50 age- and sex-matched patients with migraine underwent a 3-T magnetic resonance imaging scan. The CVS was evaluated according to current guidelines, excluding eight patients with migraine who did not show white matter (WM) lesions. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to identify the best threshold in terms of proportion of CVS+ lesions and the absolute number of CVS+ lesions able to differentiate MS from migraine.
Results: Lesion volume was different between CVS+ and CVS negative lesions (median 1043 vs. 176.5 mm3 for MS cohort; median 35.1 vs. 52.2 mm3 for migraine cohort; p < 0.001 for all). A higher proportion of CVS+ lesions was associated with a higher probability of being diagnosed as MS (adjusted odds ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.14; p < 0.001). CVS+ lesion volume and number were higher in MS with respect to migraine, both considering the whole brain and its subregions (p < 0.001). The proportion of CVS+ lesions in juxtacortical and infratentorial areas was higher in MS than in migraine (p = 0.015 and p = 0.034, respectively). The best CVS proportion-based threshold able to differentiate MS from migraine was 35.0% (sensitivity 97.1%, specificity 85.7%) with an area under the curve of 0.95 (95% CI 0.90-1.00). The "select 6" rule seemed to be preferable in terms of specificity with respect to the "select 3" rule.
Conclusions: A CVS proportion-based threshold of 35.0% is capable of distinguishing MS from migraine with high sensitivity and specificity. The "select 6" algorithm may be useful in the clinical setting.
