Abstract

Aim: Vestibular neuritis is one of the most common causes of acute spontaneous vertigo. In our study, we aimed to analyze the cerebellum volume and cerebellum connections in patients diagnosed with vestibular neuritis using the VolBrain program. Materials and Methods: 10 patients and 9 healthy (control) persons were included in the study. Automatic segmentation and volumetric analysis of cerebellum and cerebellum lobules were investigated using magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 19 people. Results: The volumes of 10 cerebellar regions were measured and compared between the patient and control groups. The total volume of the cerebellum was calculated as 123.82 ± 2.57 cm3 in the control group and 119.97 ± 4.15 cm3 in the patient group. In addition, the average amount of gray matter in the cerebellum was 90.63 ± 6.59 cm3 in the control group and 87.87 ± 16.12 cm3 in the patient group. We found volumetric changes to be statistically significant. Conclusion: By performing cerebellum segmentation with 3D T1 sequence of MRI images taken from patients diagnosed with vestibular neuritis, volume measurement and more detailed examinations can be performed easily with the help of the volBrain program. Moreover, its low cost and its usefulness in diagnosis suggest that this method will be beneficial.

Özet

Amaç: Vestibüler nörit, akut spontan vertigonun en yaygın nedenlerinden biridir. Çalışmamızda vestibüler nörit tanısı alan hastalarda cerebellum hacmini ve bağlantılarını VolBrain yazılımı ile analiz etmeyi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 10 hasta ve 9 sağlıklı (kontrol) kişi dahil edilmiştir. Cerebellum ve loplarının otomatik segmentasyonu ve hacimsel analizi, bu 19 bireyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleri (MRI) kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Toplam 10 cerebellar bölgenin hacimleri ölçülmüş ve hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Cerebellum'un toplam hacmi kontrol grubunda 123,82 ± 2,57 cm3, hasta grubunda 119,97 ± 4,15 cm3 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca Cerebellum'daki ortalama gri madde miktarı kontrol grubunda 90.63 ± 6.59 cm3, hasta grubunda 87.87 ± 16.12 cm3 olarak ölçülmüştür. Hacimsel değişikliklerin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğunu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Vestibüler nörit tanısı almış hastalardan alınan MR görüntülerinin 3D T1 sekansıyla cerebellum segmentasyonu yapılarak volBrain yazılımı yardımıyla hacim ölçümü ve daha detaylı incelemeler kolaylıkla yapılabilmektedir. Üstelik düşük maliyeti ve tanı koymadaki faydası da bu yöntemin faydalı olacağını düşündürmektedir.
