摘要目的 探讨脑皮质发育畸形(MCD)并癫痫患者的脑运动及语言功能区激活情况,及其与异常灰质的关系.方法 选取7例不同类型的MCD患者(局灶性皮质发育不良2例、灰质异位2例、脑裂畸形2例、以及多小脑回畸形1例),应用3TMR仪分别进行双侧肢体对指运动、足趾运动、以及动词联想、图片命名任务的BOLD fMRI扫描,采用组块设计方案,利用SPM 5软件的总体线性模型(GLM)进行分析,产生激活数据.将激活阈值(P＜0.001,经校正检验,激活范围≥30个体素)以上数据按照运动及语言任务不同对激活脑区进行归类分析,并分别观察MCD异常灰质与相应功能区的关系.结果 运动任务激活范围及强度以感觉运动皮层、运动前区为主.语言任务中动词联想任务激活范围以语言相关脑区及运动前区为主,激活强度以语言区为主,且Wernicke区激活强度较高.图片命名任务激活范围及强度均以视皮层为主,但在语言相关皮层激活上,强度及范围以Broca区稍著.两种语言任务联合应用语言皮层区激活范围、强度占据较显著优势.MCD患者功能激活皮层区包含发育异常结构,激活范围均可以包括或延伸到畸形区域.6例行手术治疗患者术后临床随访均未出现新的神经功能损伤及认知障碍,并且癫痫发作频率有显著下降.结论 MCD大脑皮层具有运动、语言功能,相应部位的异常灰质均可能参与简单或复杂任务脑功能活动,在外科术前应得到客观正确的功能评估以避免并发症发生.

abstractsObjective To explore the patterns of motor and linguistic activation in cortical and its correlations with abnormal gray matter in patients with malformations of cortical development(MCD)and epilepsy.Methods Seven MCD patients with epilepsy(2 patients with focal cortical dysplasia,2 heterotopia,2 schizencephaly,and 1 polymicrogyria)underwent blood-oxygen-level-dependent(BOLD)functional MRI(fMRI)in a 3 T MR scanner when practicing bilateral fingers tapping,toes twisting,verb generation,and picture naming.Functional images were post-processed by using SPM 5 software based on a general linear model(GLM)to generate activations above a uniform threshold with the cluster size (≥30 voxels,P ＜0.001 corrected).The activations were recognized and classified by two experienced neuroradiologists,and then compared with that in abnormal gray matter.Results The clusters and intensities of motor activations were mainly located in the sensormotor cortex(SMC)and premotor area (PMA).In linguistic tasks,activations produced by verb generation were found in language-associated cortical regions and PMA with higher activation in Wemicke area,picture naming significantly in the visual cortex,and language in Broca area.Combination of the two linguistic tasks produced significant clusters and intensities in language cortex.For MCD patients with abnormal cortical abnormalities,motor and language task could produce neuronal activities within normal as well as abnormal cortex regions.In 6 patients who underwent resective surgery,epileptic seizures decreased significantly,and the follow-up images demonstrated no new neurological dysfunctions and cognitive impairments.Conclusions fMRI can visualize neuronal activities in patients with MCD and epilepsy and demonstrate the motor and linguistic activations occurring in normal and abnormal gray matter.It should be cautious for surgery in patient with MCD and epilepsy.
