Abstract

Objective To explore the MRI features of the left cerebellar cysts of the cerebellum, and to guide the clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Methods In September 2009 to September 2011, 100 cases of arachnoid cyst of the left cerebellar patients, separately carries on the conventional MRI scanning and enhanced scanning, combined with conventional MRI sequences and analysis of left cerebellum arachnoid cyst MRI findings and the results were compared with surgery. Results 100 cases were examined by MRI image analysis, 44 cases were diagnosed by routine scan, 48 cases were confirmed by enhanced scan, the diagnosis rate of enhanced scan was as high as 96%, higher than that of conventional scanning. Conclusion MRI has very high application value in the diagnosis and differentiation of the left cerebellar cyst of the cerebellum. It can be used as the first choice for the diagnosis of the left cerebellar cyst.
