Title: A retrospective study on CT and MRI findings in patients with multiple meningioma
Abstract: Objective To explore the characteristic CT and MRI findings of multiple meningioma,and to raise the level of diagnosis.Methods Toshiba 64 row helical CT and GE Singna 1.5 MRI scanners were applied for CT and MRI flat and enhanced scanning and MRS analysis,and the characteristic imaging findings of 11 patients with multiple meningioma confirmed by pathological examination were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.Results Altogether 35 foci of tumor were found in these 11 patients,substantial parts of tumor showed slightly high density on CT plain scanning,and they were presented as homogeneous slightly low signal intensity both on TlWI and T2WI in MRI;and the lesions were remarkably enhanced after injection of contrast medium.Dural tail sign had been found in 20 cases.Conclusion The combined application of CT and MRI flat and enhanced scanning and MRS analysis is more important in raising the accordance rate of imaging diagnosis and pathological examination of meningioma.
