Application of WRS in the differential diagnosis of saddle cavernous hemangioma and meningioma
Abstract：Objective To explore the value of WRS in the differential diagnosis of saddle cavernous hemangioma and meningi-oma.Methods The imaging data of 10 patients with saddle cavernous hemangioma and 6 patients with meningioma, who under-went the convertional MRI scanning , MRS, and enhanced scanning, were retrospectively analyzed in this work.Results It was difficult to identify the both tumors with conventional MRI scanning and enhanced scanning; The spectral characteristics of the cavernous angioma beside sella tursica were the peaks without the N-acetyl aspartate, Choline, Creatine peaks, and so on, but, with L-lipid peak clearly.The spectral characteristics of the meningioma beside sella tursica were peaks without N-acetyl aspartate and Creatine peak, but, with Choline peak clearly.Alanine peak can be seen in 3 cases and there were marked differences of MRS in both tumors.Conc lusion MRS has high value in the differential diagnosis of saddle cavernous hemangioma and meningi-oma.
