摘要

Background Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability change is a possible pathologic mechanism of autoimmune encephalitis. Purpose To evaluate the change in BBB permeability in patients with autoimmune encephalitis as compared with healthy controls by using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and to explore its predictive value for treatment response in patients. Materials and Methods This single-center retrospective study included consecutive patients with probable or possible autoimmune encephalitis and healthy controls who underwent DCE MRI between April 2020 and May 2021. Automatic volumetric segmentation was performed on three-dimensional T1-weighted images, and volume transfer constant (Ktrans) values were calculated at encephalitis-associated brain regions. Ktrans values were compared between the patients and controls, with adjustment for age and sex with use of a nonparametric approach. The Wilcoxon rank sum test was performed to compare Ktrans values of the good (improvement in modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score of at least two points or achievement of an mRS score of ≤2) and poor (improvement in mRS score of less than two points and achievement of an mRS score >2) treatment response groups among the patients. Results Thirty-eight patients with autoimmune encephalitis (median age, 38 years [IQR, 29–59 years]; 20 [53%] female) and 17 controls (median age, 71 years [IQR, 63–77 years]; 12 [71%] female) were included. All brain regions showed higher Ktrans values in patients as compared with controls (P < .001). The median difference in Ktrans between the patients and controls was largest in the right parahippocampal gyrus (25.1 × 10−4 min−1 [95% CI: 17.6, 43.4]). Among patients, the poor treatment response group had higher baseline Ktrans values in both cerebellar cortices (P = .03), the left cerebellar cortex (P = .02), right cerebellar cortex (P = .045), left cerebral cortex (P = .045), and left postcentral gyrus (P = .03) than the good treatment response group. Conclusion DCE MRI demonstrated that BBB permeability was increased in all brain regions in patients with autoimmune encephalitis as compared with controls, and baseline Ktrans values were higher in patients with poor treatment response in the cerebellar cortex, left cerebral cortex, and left postcentral gyrus as compared with the good response group. © RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.
