Cerebral Infarction and Evan’s Ratio on MRI Affect the Severity and Prognosis of Tuberculosis Meningitis Patients
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and its complications. We aimed to explore the relationship between MRI features and neurological deficits and TBM patients’ prognosis. Methods: patients diagnosed with TBM were subjected to...

description | Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and its complications. We aimed to explore the relationship between MRI features and neurological deficits and TBM patients’ prognosis. Methods: patients diagnosed with TBM were subjected to a neurological evaluation on admission and divided into groups based on the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale. After several years of follow-up, the patients were further divided into groups according to the Modified Rankin Score (MRS). Their MR images were analyzed for meningeal enhancement, tuberculomas, infarction, hydrocephalus, and abscess, including the location and size of the lesion. Any changes in MRI features during the follow-up were recorded. MRI features between groups were compared, and the relationship between dynamic changes in images and Rankin grading was explored. Results: We found significant differences in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and old cerebral infarctions (OCI) between the MRC groups, and the ORs of ACI and OCI were 21.818 (95% CI: 2.440–195.075) and 6.788 (95% CI: 1.516–30.392), respectively. There were significant differences in ACI, OCI, and Evan’s ratio between the MRS groups (p < 0.05), and the ORs of ACI, OCI, and hydrocephalus were 6.375 (95% CI: 1.501–27.080), 5.556 (95% CI: 1.332–23.177), and 9.139 (95% CI: 2.052–40.700), respectively. The changes of Evan’s ratio were related to the MRS grading (r = 0.335, p = 0.040). Conclusions: For patients with TBM, the presence of ACI or OCI is associated with neurological deficits, and ACI, OCI, and hydrocephalus can be regarded as poor prognostic predictors. Changes in Evan’s ratio will affect the outcome. |
