Abstract

A retrospective study was performed evaluating the volume and T2/T1 signal intensity of orbital fat in five children diagnosed with severe global brain swelling and confirmed cessation of cerebral perfusion. Imaging showed a volume increase (five of five) and a heterogeneous T2-hypointensity of orbital fat (four of five). This preliminary study suggests that swelling and T2-hypointensity of orbital fat may be a marker of global brain swelling and/or increased intracranial pressure.

摘要

进行了一项回顾性研究，评估了五名被诊断为严重整体脑肿胀并确认停止脑灌注的儿童的眼眶脂肪的体积和T2/T1信号强度。成像显示眼眶脂肪的体积增加（五个中的五个）和异质性T2-低张力（五个中的四个）。这项初步研究表明，眼眶脂肪的肿胀和T2-低张力可能是整体脑肿胀和/或颅内压升高的标志。
