摘要
目的:丘脑胶质瘤主要见于儿童,可分为两种主要类型,具有不同的预后和治疗:弥漫性中线胶质瘤(DMG) h3k27改变和低级别胶质瘤(LGG)。我们的目的是找到区分这些肿瘤的影像学特征,并制定诊断评分。患者和方法:1999年9月至2021年5月的一项回顾性研究涉及丘脑胶质瘤的儿科患者,分为h3k27改变的DMG组和LGG组。术前影像学,包括形态学、弥散和动脉自旋标记灌注,盲目回顾并比较两组。诊断评分是根据显著的发现制定的。结果通过内部和外部验证队列进行验证。结果:纳入66例患者(中位年龄9岁;四分位间距[IQR] [5-13];38名女孩),37名DMG h3k27改变,29名LGG。DMG h3k27改变的肿瘤体积更大(中位数64 cc, IQR [36-88] vs 26 cc, IQR [15-37], p < 0.001), t2加权信号和增强的异质性更大(62% [22/37]vs 31% [9/29], p = 0.04, 97% [32/33] vs 56% [15/27], p = 0.0008),最小相对表观扩散系数(ADC)更低(0.92 (IQR [0.76-1.23]) vs 1.55 (IQR [1.40-1.72]), p < 0.001)。相对最大脑血流量(CBF)水平较高(2.08 (IQR [1.48-3.05]) vs 0.84 (IQR [0.45-1]), p < 0.001)。综合肿瘤直径、固体含量优势、相对ADC和相对CBF的诊断评分在区分DMG h3k27改变的肿瘤和LGG方面达到100%的敏感性和特异性(36例患者获得满分),在外部和内部验证队列(12例患者)中取得了良好的结果。结论:儿童丘脑肿瘤的形态学、弥散和动脉自旋标记成像特征使DMG h3k27改变和LGG具有良好的分化能力。
MRI-Based Score to Recognize Thalamic Glioma Grade in Children: Morphology, Diffusion, and Arterial-Spin-Labeling Perfusion.
Purpose: Thalamic gliomas are found predominantly in children and can be classified into two main types with different prognoses and management: diffuse midline glioma (DMG) H3K27-altered and low-grade glioma (LGG). Our aim was to find imaging features distinguishing these tumors and to develop a diagnostic score.
Patients and methods: A retrospective study spanning September 1999 to May 2021 involved pediatric patients with thalamic gliomas, categorized into H3K27-altered DMG and LGG groups. Preoperative imaging, including morphology, diffusion, and arterial-spin-labeling perfusion, was reviewed blindly and compared between the two groups. A diagnostic score was formulated based on significant findings. Results were validated using an internal and external validation cohort.
Results: Sixty-six patients were included (median age, 9 years; interquartile range [IQR] [5-13]; 38 girls) with 37 DMG H3K27-altered and 29 LGG. DMG H3K27-altered tumors exhibited larger volumes (median 64 cc, IQR [36-88] vs 26 cc, IQR [15-37], p < 0.001), greater heterogeneity in T2-weighted signal and enhancement (62% [22/37] vs 31% [9/29], p = 0.04, and 97% [32/33] vs 56% [15/27], p = 0.0008, respectively), lower minimum relative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) (0.92 (IQR [0.76-1.23]) vs 1.55 (IQR [1.40-1.72]), p < 0.001), and higher relative maximum cerebral blood flow (CBF) levels (2.08 (IQR [1.48-3.05]) vs 0.84 (IQR [0.45-1]), p < 0.001). A diagnostic score integrating tumor diameter, solid content predominance, relative ADC, and relative CBF achieved 100% sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing DMG H3K27-altered tumors from LGG (full score available for 36 patients), with good results in external and internal validation cohorts (12 patients).
Conclusion: The morphological, diffusion, and arterial spin labeling imaging characteristics of pediatric thalamic tumors enable excellent differentiation of DMG H3K27-altered and LGG.
