Diagnosis Of Cerebral Infaction With Diffusion-weighted Imaging In Acute Period Of Children

ObjectiveCerebral infaction in children rarely encountered in clinical practice, but a lot of children are diagnosised with a long-term, even misdiagnosis, and lost the opportunities of treatment, it is because of cerebral infaction different location, different course of disease varied clinical manifestations, together with the difficult expression and unco-operative medical examination in children. The study investigate the cerebral infaction in cjildren and discuss their clinical features, observe diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) signal characteristics, improve DWI has important diagnosis significance with the acute cerebral infaction in the children.MethodsIn this study, we choose 15 children diagnosed as cerebral infaction in Shenjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical Univercity from May 2008 to December 2009. The clinical data including sex, cause of disease, age, clinical manifestation, signal characteristics of imaging from them were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.ResultsIn the initial examination, conventional MRI in all cases, T1WI and T2WI with different levels of signal change, the vague lesions, area reduce, the weaken contrast. All the cases have clear and obvious focus on DWI.ConclusionsCerebral infaction of children has more causes, for example, cerebral trauma, cerebrovascular malformation, inflammation. Perinatal asphyxia, hereditary factors, hypercoagulability are risk factors. First clinical manifestation is limb dyskinesia. MRI can show a reliable evidence for the diagnosis. The children with seizure, pronounce indistinctly must do MRI early.
