Most frequent brain lesions inducing locomotion disorders: Localised lesions: ischemia - infraction, hemorrhage, tumors axial and extraaxial Disseminatd lesion: metastatic tumors, demyalinisation processes Imaging: Plain CT, event, after intravenous administration of iodinated contrast agent Plain MRI in T1 and T2 weigted images
contrast agent)
Angiography in subarachnoidal bleeding (aneurysms), event. in tumors (possibly CT-angiography with contrast administration, or MR-angiography without contrast administration). Vertebral lesions (trauma, tumor, inflammation, herniation or sequestration), inducing spinal cord or nerve roots lesions. Imaging: Plain radiography with standart views for differenciation between stable and instable lesions, CT in bony or soft-tissue window Spinal cord can be affected by an extradural or intramedullar process, event.transsected. Imaging: CT for differentiation between an extradural and intradural lesion, event. myelography or radiculography. In intramedullary processes MRI is essential. Spinal angiography is indicated in spinal angiomatous malformations. Nerve roots can be touched in avulsion trauma or in degenerative stenotic lesions of neural foramina, event. in nerve root tumors. Imaging: CT-myelography, MRI Muscles: mostly degenerative, inflammatory, tumorl or traumatic lesions Imaging: Ultrasonography as first choise examination, followed by MRI, event. CT (plain and contrast-enhanced). Ligaments and tendons - mostly trauma - sprains, degenerative lesions, peritendinitis Imaging: Stress X-ray views, ultrasonohraphy, MRI Bones: Fractures, deformations (shortening, bowing), dysplasias Imaging: Radiography, plain CT Joints: trauma- dislokation, arthritis, egeneration, laxity, ankylosis Imaging: Radiography, arthrography, ultrasonography (effusion,hematoma), CT,MRI |
