Abstract:
Objective To discuss MRI diagnositic value and evaluation of the treatment of cervical Brucella spondylitis(BS).Meth-ods MRI data of 39 cases with cervical BS in our hospital were collected.Non-operative treatment,minimal invasive surgery and the open surgery were selected according to the MRI manifestations.The correlation was analyzed by consistensy check,imaging score and clinical effect evaluation.The data were analyzed by SPSS15.0.Results 39 cases of patients were examined by MRI before the treatment.37 cases were reviewed after 6 months treatment and 33 cases were reviewed after 12 months treatment.All of the Kappa values were more than 0.75 by imaging consistency check.MRI of cervical BS possessed characteristic expressions.The treatment effect according to MRI classification before the treatment:(1)drug therapy was performed in 14 cases (Group A);(2)minimal inva-sive surgery was performed in 7 cases (Group B);(3)focus clearance and bone graft were performed in 18 cases (Group C);(4)the clinical effects showed the healing rate in every group at different time point was different and the difference had statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05).The healing rate in Group C was higher than it in other group at 6 months after treatment.There was no significant difference among 3 groups or among different method group(Group C1,C2 and C3)in Group C at 12 months after treatment(P>0.05). Conclusion MRI classification for cervical BS has important value and guiding significance in the selection of clinical conservative treatment,minimal invasive surgery or the open surgery.
