横断位T2WI-FS序列(Figure2.15.1)示肝内多发稍高密度区,边界不清,于DWI(b=s/mm2)序列(Figure2.15.2)显示较清。
肝胆特异性对比剂Multihance增强扫描动脉期、门脉期、平衡期及肝胆相位图(Figure2.15.3)示动脉期病灶不均匀强化,并可见肝内静脉早期充盈。肝胆相位图示肝内部分结节可见持续性强化。
横断位和冠状位MIP(Figure2.15.4A、Figure2.15.4B)更加清晰显示肝内多发强化的结节,同时可以看到扩张的肝内动脉和静脉,VR图像(Figure2.15.4C)可以更加直观地显示。
本病例采用的肝胆特异对比剂Multihance,可以看到肝胆相位期强化的肝内胆管。

HHT是一种常染色体显性遗传病,典型表现为皮肤、粘膜、胃肠道及其他组织的多发毛细血管扩张。大多数患者最常见的症状是反复鼻出血,但肺动静脉畸形引起的紫绀、咯血、反常的肺栓塞等表现则更为严重。HHT与至少两种基因突变有关,引起血管生长调节异常。
