摘要:
目的:探讨血管超声对颈部动脉夹层(cervical artery dissection, CAD)的临床诊断价值。方法:选择2016年1月至2017年3月于江苏省苏北人民医院就诊的32例怀疑CAD患者的超声影像学资料进行回顾性分析,并以高分辨率MRI和(或)DSA为诊断标准,计算血管超声诊断CAD的敏感度、特异度及准确度。结果:32例患者中确诊动脉夹层19例,共23处,包括18处颈内动脉夹层、5处椎动脉夹层。血管超声直接征象表现为壁内血肿14处、双腔5处、瘤样扩张3处、瓣膜漂浮1处;间接征象包括夹层位于非粥样硬化好发部位,夹层近段或远段阻力指数改变,夹层与对侧正常血流速度的差异超过50%。以MRI和(或)DSA检查结果为标准,血管超声诊断CAD的敏感度为91.3%、特异度为89.5%、准确度为90.5%,ROC曲线下面积为0.904。将血管超声与MRI行一致性检验,Kappa值为0.808。结论:血管超声对CAD有较好的诊断价值,且具有微创优势,值得临床推广。

Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the imaging features and diagnostic value of vascular ultrasonography in cervical artery dissection (CAD). Methods:32 patients suspected of CAD were selected from Janaury 2016 to March 2017 in Subei People’s Hospital of Jiangsu Province. All patients detected by ultrasonography, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) and (or) digital subtraction angiography. According to the results of HR-MRI and (or) DSA, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of vascular ultrasonography in CAD patients were determined. Results:19 patients with a total of 23 dissections (18 internal carotid arteries and 5 vertebral arteries) were confirmed. The direct ultrasound signs of CAD consisted of intramural hematoma(14), double lumens(5), aneurysmal dilatation(3), and intimal flap(1).Indirect ultrasound signs of CAD included stenosis/occlusion in a segment usually not affected by atherosclerosis, increased or decreased pulsatility upstream or downstream to the suspected arterial lesion, >50% difference in the blood flow velocity compared to the same segment of the artery on the unaffected side. Compared with HR-MRI and (or) DSA, the sensitivity of ultrasonography for CAD was 91.3%, the specificity was 89.5%, the accuracy was 90.5%. The ROC analysis showed the area under the curve was 0.904. There was a high level of agreement between ultrasonography and HR MRI (Kappa=0.808). Conclusions:Vascular ultrasonography can diagnose CAD effectively. It has the advantage of minimally invasive, and is useful to clinical practice.
