Although most of the incidental findings of the Lomber Spinal Cord MRI are benign findings, the awareness of prevalence helps to diagnose lesions not related to the symptoms.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and type of randomized findings in patients who were treated with Lomber spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).METHODS: We evaluated 613 patients who underwent Lomber MRI in consideration of Lumbar discopathy. Lumbar MRI were reported by musculoskeletal radiologists. Vertebral hemangiomas, tarlov cysts, kidney cysts, schmorl nodules, liver cysts were included in the study.RESULTS: A total of 613 patients (male to female ratio, 354: 259; age range, 16-79 years). Vertebral hemangiomas were found in 5.7% (n = 35), tarlov cysts in 3.5% (n = 22), renal cyst in 2.2% (n = 14), schmorl nodule in 1.4% 0.3 (n = 2) liver cysts were detected.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Incidental findings are very common in MRI examinations of patients with lomber discopathies. Although most of the incidental findings of the Lomber Spinal Cord MRI are benign findings, the awareness of prevalence helps to diagnose lesions not related to the symptoms.

Özet

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Bu çalışma lomber diskopatisi olan, Lomber spinal Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme (MRG) uygulanan hastalarda görülen rastlantısal bulguların prevalansını ve tipini araştırmaya yönelik yapılmıştır.YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Lomber diskopatisi olduğu düşünülerek Lomber MRG yapılan 613 hasta değerlendirildi. Lomber MRG’ler kas iskelet sistemi radyologları tarafından raporlandı. Vertebral hemanjiyom, tarlov kisti, böbrek kisti, schmorl nodülü, karaciğer kisti çalışmaya dahil edildi. BULGULAR: Toplam 613 hasta (erkek-kadın oranı, 354: 259; yaş aralığı, 16-79 yıl) değerlendirildi. Hastaların % 5.7’ sinde (n=35) vertebra hemanjiomu, % 3.5’inde (n=22) tarlov kisti, % 2.2’ sinde (n=14) böbrek kisti, % 1.4’ünde (n=9) schmorl nodülü, % 0.3’ünde (n=2) karaciğer kisti saptandı.TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Tespit edilen bulgular, lomber diskopatili hastaların MRG tetkiklerinde oldukça yaygın görülmektedir. Lomber omurganın MRG’ tespit edilen rastlantısal bulguların çoğu benign bulgular olmasına rağmen, prevalansının farkındalığı, semptomlarla ilgili olmayan lezyonların teşhisinde yardımcı olur.
