Abstract AR
الطريقة : اشتملت الدراسة على خمسة عشر مريضا بمتلازمة بهجت ذوي الأعراض العصبية.
و قد تم فحص جميع المرضى إكلينيكيا مع عمل فحص بالرنين المغناطيسي على المخ و في بعض الحالات فحص بالرنين المغناطيسي على الأوعية الدموية المخية.
و اشتملت الدراسة على 15 من الأصحاء كمجموعة ضابطة.
و تم الفحص بالدوبلر عبر الجمجمة على جميع المرضى و المجموعة الضابطة. النتائج : و تبين من الدراسة تأثر 12 من المرضى بإصابة الأنسجة المخية عن طريق الرنين المغناطيسي.
و أظهر الدوبلر نتائج غير طبيعية في 5 من المرضى مع تأثر تدفق الدم في الشرايين المخية.
Abstract EN
Objective : to study the value of trans cranial Doppler (TCD) in patients with neuro-Behcet's disease (Neuron-BD) and to correlate the findings with the MRI results.
Methodology : this study included 15 patients fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of international study group for Behest's disease.
MRI brain was done and evaluated for the presence of parenchymal lesions.
Bilateral trans cranial Doppler ultrasound of the middle (MCA), anterior (ACA) and posterior (PCA) cerebral arteries were performed in patient and control groups.
TCD parameters were compared between 15 patients and age and sex matched control subjects.
Results : we found 12 (80 %) patients had single or multiple brain lesions on MRI.
Most of these lesions were of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and located in the brainstem, basal ganglia and deep white matter region.
TCD findings were abnormal in 5 (33.3 %) patients.
Plasticity and resistivity indices of the MCA were significantly higher in patients than in normal control (p < 0.001).
The mean blood flow velocity of the MCA and ACA was marginally reduced in patients with neuron-BD than in healthy controls, but did not reach a statistical significance (p > 0.05).
No significant relation was found between abnormal MRI lesions and TCD parameters.
Conclusion : cerebral hemodynamics might be affected in patients with Behest's disease compared with healthy controls.
TCD may be a useful tool in the evaluation of patients with neuro-Behcet's disease.
