简介:目的:研究如何将诱发电位技术应用于视力的客观评定。方法:视力范围0.1~1.5志愿合作受试者共180眼,运用模式翻转视觉诱发电位(PRVEP)技术检测与记载各受检眼各不同信号视角条件下的结果,探究可靠的检测指标。应用SPSS软件对收集数据作统计学处理和分析。结果:确定最小信号视角是客观评估视力的基础,选定P100波幅作为视力量化评价指标。通过对一定条件下P100波幅与视力表视力进行简单相关回归分析,显示二者呈正相关。结论:最小信号视角、P100波幅可作为确切的检测指标。
简介:目的探讨桥小脑角疾病的相位平衡快速梯度回波(Balance-FastFieldEcho,B-FFE)序列MRI影像学特点,评价B-FFE序列对桥小脑角疾病的诊断价值.方法应用B-FFE序列对136例桥小脑角病变者(三叉神经痛131例、半面痉挛5例)进行MRI检查,观察桥小脑角神经、血管、肿瘤显像情况,并与手术中资料进行比较.结果131例三叉神经痛患者中,117例为原发性三叉神经痛,MRI显示有血管压迫者102例,术中证实有血管压迫者95例,行显微血管减压+神经梳理术;14例为继发性三叉神经痛,均为桥小脑角占位性病变,术后病理证实7例为胆脂瘤,2例为听神经瘤,5例为脑膜瘤;5例半面痉挛患者MRI显示有血管压迫,术中证实有血管压迫,并予以血管减压.结论B-FFE序列MRI成像能清楚显示桥小脑角区三叉神经、面神经与血管的关系及是否有占位性病变,对诊断、术前评估和指导治疗有重要意义.

简介:目的:探讨儿童瞬目症BUT情况,为临床治疗提供依据。方法:215例患者均排除全身疾患,检查角膜、结膜、屈光不正等,着重检查BUT,详细了解患者病史,不良生活习惯等,治疗上停用含有防腐剂及激素类滴眼液,避免及纠正不良卫生及生活习惯,心理治疗,合理用眼,矫正屈光不正,给予不含防腐剂的滴眼液点眼,如3g/L艾丽滴眼液3次/d点眼,需用抗生素的给予可乐必妥滴眼液3~4次/d点眼,酌情给予抗病毒及维生素类药物。结果:215例患者BUT小于10s者197例(91.6%)326眼,其中5S以下123例224眼。本组215例病例中经过7~28d治疗,173例(80.5%)治愈,37例(17.2%)好转,5例(2.3%)无效,均未患眼部疾病,且不配合治疗,仍每天看电视或玩电脑游戏2h以上。经治疗BUT正常者192例(89.3%),好转19例(8.8%)无效者4例(1.9%)。随访1~6mo,复发31例,均为长期看电视、玩电脑、习惯揉眼者,BUT检查再次异常者,重复治疗后治愈或好转。结论:泪膜的保持并发挥其生理功能与瞬目动作休息相关,我们认为泪膜稳定性差是瞬目症的另一重要因素,BUT检查在诊治儿童瞬目症中起着关键的作用,它可以正确指导医生合理用药,使患者早日康复,而且简单易行,无痛苦,儿童易接受。我们建议BUT可作为儿童瞬目症的常规检查。
