听神经瘤伴耳鸣患者的静息态功能性磁共振成像影像学表现

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with acoustic neuroma and tinnitus

  • 摘要: 目的:通过观察静息态功能性磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)影像学表现,探讨听神经瘤患者耳鸣发生的神经网络机制。方法:收集2022年11月至2023年12月在广西医科大学第二附属医院耳鼻咽喉头颈外科住院并行手术治疗的18例听神经瘤患者,根据是否存在耳鸣分为伴耳鸣组(A组)和不伴耳鸣组(B组),另选择无听神经瘤、无耳鸣的18例志愿者作为对照组(C组)。所有患者均行常规颅脑磁共振及功能性磁共振扫描,比较分数低频振幅(fALFF)和度中心性(DC)值。结果:3组患者fALFF值的差异脑区主要位于右梭状回、右颞中回、右眶部额下回、右脑岛、左内侧额上回。与C组比较,A组在右颞中回fALFF值增高,B组在右梭状回、右颞中回fALFF值增高,在右眶部额下回、右脑岛、左内侧额上回、额中回fALFF值降低(均P<0.05)。与B组比较,A组在右眶部额下回、右脑岛、左内侧额上回、额中回fALFF值增高,在右梭状回、右颞中回fALFF值降低(均P<0.05)。3组患者的DC值差异脑区主要位于右顶上回、右楔前叶,与C组相比,A组在右顶上回、右楔前叶DC值降低(均P<0.05);与B组比较,A组在右顶上回、右楔前叶DC值降低(均P<0.05)。结论:本研究揭示了与听神经瘤耳鸣相关脑区的变化,这些脑区涉及中枢神经系统的多个网络,包括听觉网络、视觉网络、默认模式网络、背侧注意网络,这些变化可能是耳鸣发生和发展的神经网络机制。

     

    Abstract: Objective: To investigate the neural network mechanism of tinnitus in patients with acoustic neuroma by observing the imaging findings of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods: A total of 18 patients with acoustic neuroma who were hospitalized in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from November 2022 to December 2023 for concurrent surgical treatment were divided into a tinnitus group (group A) and a non-tinnitus group (group B) based on the presence or absence of tinnitus. Additionally, 18 volunteers without acoustic neuroma and tinnitus were selected as the control group (group C). All patients underwent routine cranial MRI and fMRI scans to compare fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (fALFF) and degree centrality (DC) values. Results: The different brain regions of the fALFF values in the three groups were mainly located in the right fusiform gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, right orbital inferior frontal gyrus, right insula and left medial superior frontal gyrus. Compared with group C, fALFF values in right middle temporal gyrus in group A were increased, fALFF values in right fusiform gyrus and right middle temporal gyrus in group B were increased, and fALFF values in right orbital inferior frontal gyrus, right insula, left medial superior frontal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus were decreased in group B (all P<0.05). Compared with group B, fALFF values in right orbital inferior frontal gyrus, right insula, left medial superior frontal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus in group A were increased, while fALFF values in right fusiform gyrus and right middle temporal gyrus were decreased in group A (all P<0.05). The different brain regions of the DC values in the three groups were mainly located in the right superior parietal gyrus and right anterior cuneiform lobe. Compared with group C, the DC values in the right superior parietal gyrus and right anterior cuneiform lobe in group A were lower (all P<0.05). Compared with group B, the DC values in the right superior parietal gyrus and right anterior cuneiform lobe in group A were decreased (both P< 0.05). Conclusion: This study reveals the changes in the brain regions associated with tinnitus in acoustic neuroma involving multiple networks of the central nervous system, including the auditory network, visual network, default mode network and dorsal attention network. These changes may be the neural network mechanism for the occurrence and development of tinnitus.
