Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) represents a serious public health issue with high morbidity and mortality. Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the evaluation of sTBI patients. Phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) is an imaging technique for evaluation of energy metabolites. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and the diagnostic potential of ultra-early 31P-MRS to detect changes in cerebral energy metabolism in sTBI. METHODS: Adult patients with sTBI presenting with GCS ≤ 8 being eligible for MRI were prospectively included in the study and MRI was performed within 72 h after trauma. Imaging was performed using a 3 Tesla MRI. 31P-MRS data from the structurally affected side were compared to data from normal appearing contralateral areas symmetrically to the location of the traumatic lesions, and to data of matched healthy controls. RESULTS: Ten sTBI patients (3 female, 7 male), aged between 20 and 75 years, with a mean initial GCS of 6 were analyzed. MRI was performed 61 h (mean, range 37-71 h) after trauma. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the lesioned side and contralaterally. An increased PCr/ATP ratio and a decreased PME/PDE ratio were present in structurally normal appearing, but traumatized tissue when compared to the healthy population, thus indicating significant differences in ATP resynthesis and membrane turnover (F (2,33), P = 0.005 and, P = 0.027, respectively). CONCLUSION: 31P-MRS could provide a better understanding of pertinent global changes in cerebral energy metabolism in sTBI patients under general anesthesia.
