Key words: 巨大くも膜顆粒, くも膜顆粒、giant arachnoid granulation, arachnoid granulation, AG, AGs

Key comment: AGs  くも膜顆粒とは?

  • 通常1cm 未満:2-8mm、
  • 古いAJNRの論文だとCT上24%, MRI上13%で(造影MRIの静脈洞の濃染欠損域として)認められる 。平均的大きさは4-5mm
  • ほとんどが画像的に横静脈洞にみられる
  • 次に多いのが静脈洞交会(TorcularHerophili)
  • 剖検例29例も検討し類似結果を得ている 出現頻度 66%
  • 剖検では1-8mmで平均2mm
  • 性差はない
  • くも膜顆粒が存在する群は有意に年齢が高め
  • 無症状がほとんどで偶然見つかる、稀に頭痛

巨大なくも膜顆粒 って? giant AGs

  • 巨大くも膜顆粒:1cm を超えるもの
  • 19個の1cmを超えるくも膜顆粒を検討した45-75才 17人(2人が2つのAGs有す)
  • 2/17症例 頭痛あり
  • 横静脈洞:12、上矢状洞:6、静脈洞交会:1
  • CSF と同等の信号域と言われていたが・・・80%はCSFと同等ではない 何故?
  • AGsは単純にCSFの袋ではない→ ビデオを見てみてくださいね。
