目的:通过对原发性醛固酮增多症患者的CT检查,着重提出本病肾上腺皮质腺瘤的CT诊断。方法:43例均经手术及病理证实。其中21~40岁占85%,均有高血压、低血钾史。仅部分病例有周期性软瘫及血和(或)尿醛固酮增多。CT使用薄层扫描。结果:本组均为一侧单发腺瘤。体积较小(直径<2cm占81%)、密度低、增强效应差,常突出于肾上腺形成“柄征”。结论:对原发性醛固酮增多症的诊断,主要依据临床表现、实验室的检查。CT检查主要是确定肾上腺有否肿瘤,以及定位、定量的诊断。CT对肾上腺皮质腺瘤诊断可靠。薄层扫描、增强CT有利于低密度小腺瘤的显示,但尚有一定的限度。
Objective: To make a CT diagnosis of adrenocortical adenoma in this disease by CT examination of patients with primary aldosteronism. Methods: 43 cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology. Among them, 21 to 40 years old accounted for 85%, and all had hypertension and hypokalemia. Only some cases have periodic soft palate and increased blood and/or urine aldosterone. CT uses thin-layer scanning. Results: This group was a single sided adenoma. The small size (81% in diameter <2cm), low density, and poor reinforcing effect often highlight the adrenal gland’s “stem sign.” Conclusion: The diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is based on clinical manifestations and laboratory tests. CT examination is mainly to determine whether there is a tumor in the adrenal gland, as well as localized and quantitative diagnosis. CT diagnosis of adrenocortical adenoma is reliable. Thin-slice scanning and enhanced CT facilitate the display of low-density small adenomas, but there are still some limitations.
