Hydro-MRT mit schnellen Sequenzen bei Morbus Crohn: Vergleich mit der fraktionierten Magen-Darm-Passage
2008
PURPOSE To compare the value of hydro-MRI with that of barium studies in patients with Crohn's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS After an oral bowel opacification using 1000 ml of a 2.5% mannitol solution, axial and coronal breath-hold sequences (T2W HASTE +/- FS, contrast-enhanced T1W FLASH FS) were acquired in 46 patients with Crohn's disease at 1.0 T. The findings of hydro-MRI were compared with those of barium studies. RESULTS In the stomach and the small bowel, hydro-MRI and barium studies demonstrated similar numbers of Crohn's involvements (39 vs. 36); in the colon, hydro-MRI showed clearly more affections (23 vs. 10). Hydro-MRI showed 12.7 cm of inflamed bowel per patient, on average (…

Ein 75 jahriger Patient stellte sich mit seit 2 Jahren langsam grosenprogredienten Raumforderungen unterhalb beider Schulterblatter vor. Anamnestisch bestand ein Zustand nach proximaler Oberarmamputation linksseitig mit folgender prothetischer Versorgung. Klinisch zeigten sich direkt unter den Schulterblattspitzen beidseits 2 faustgrose Tumoren, die fest mit dem tiefer gelegenen Gewebe verwachsen waren. Sowohl magnetresonanztomographisch als auch intraoperativ stellte sich ein infiltratives Wachstum dieser Raumforderungen in die seitliche Thoraxmuskulatur und das Periost der Rippen sowie des Schulterblatts dar, so das ein maligner Tumor vermutet wurde. Histopathologisch zeigte sich Bindegew…
Beurteilung der entzündlichen Aktivität des M. Crohn mit der Hydro-MRT∗
2000
PURPOSE: To assess the value of hydro-MRI in the assessment of the activity of Crohn's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After an oral bowel opacification using 1000 ml of a 2.5% mannitol solution, axial and coronal breath-hold sequences (T2W HASTE +/- FS, contrast-enhanced T1W FLASH FS) were acquired in 63 patients with Crohn's disease at 1.0 T. The enhancement of the bowel wall was correlated with other MRI findings, with the Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), and the C-reactive protein (CRP). RESULTS: In Crohn's disease, contrast enhancement of the affected bowel wall is markedly increased in comparison with the normal bowel wall (+80 +/- 23% vs. +43 +/- 11%; p = 8 x 10(-11)). Positive…
Chirurgische Therapie des Pulmonalarteriensarkoms
2001
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare neoplasm and possibly unnoticed cause of pulmonary hypertension. The presentation is one of central pulmonary artery obstruction and progressive right-heart failure. In most cases, the diagnosis of malignancy is confirmed post mortem. We report the outcome of eight patients with primary pulmonary artery sarcomas. METHODS Eight patients (four female, four male, mean age 48,2 years, preop. NYHA functional class III/IV: n = 5/3) were referred for further evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. Malignancy was suspected in six of these patients by means of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). In two patients …
