MRI of benign neoplasm in head and neck perivertebral space
Abstract：Objective:To evaluate the MRI features of benign neoplasm and explore it's diagnosis and differential diagnosis in perivertebral space. Methods: 18 cases with benign neoplasm in perivertebral space were performed by Philips 0.5T MRI scanner, including 12 schwannomases, 2 neurofibromases and 4 chordomas. Results: All lesions displayed hyperintense on T2WI, most of 18 cases closing to that of cerebrospinal fluid and having markedly enhancement. There were inhomogeneous signal intensity in 6 schwannomases, 1 neurofibromas and 4 chordomas. All cases located in prevertebral portion of perivertebral space, 7 of 18 cases locating in suprahyoid. Conclusion:MRI can clearly domonstrate the lesions in perivertebral space. Delineating fascia space contributed to disease diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
