Do the mammillary bodies atrophy with aging? A magnetic resonance imaging study.
Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to explore age-related atrophy of the mammillary bodies (MBs) based on their temporal change using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Materials and methods: The study included 30 adult outpatients who presented to the hospital and were followed for more than 100 months with annual MRIs. The bi-ventricular width (BVW), third ventricle width (TVW), and bi-mammillary dimension (BMD) were measured on axial T2-weighted imaging and analyzed.
Results: The 30 patients comprised 1 in their 40s, 5 in their 50s, 6 in their 60s, 11 in their 70s, 5 in their 80s, and 2 in their 90s. The MBs were consistently detected with left-to-right symmetry. The mean BVW was 32 ± 2.2 mm on the initial (BVW1) and 32 ± 2.4 mm on the last (BVW2) MRI. The mean TVW was 7.0 ± 2.3 mm on the initial (TVW1) and 7.6 ± 2.7 mm on the last (TVW2) MRI. Furthermore, the mean BMD was 9.9 ± 1.3 mm on the initial (BMD1) and 10 ± 1.3 mm on the last (BMD2) MRI. Statistically, no age ranges had a large dimension for BVW1, BVW2, TVW1, TVW2, BMD1, or BMD2. Changes between TVW1 and TVW2 were significantly different in the patients in their 80s; changes between BMD1 and BMD2 were not different for any age range or between sexes.
Conclusions: Aging alone does not seem to promote MB atrophy. In healthy brains, the MBs may be stationary structures throughout life.
期刊介绍:
Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit.
Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest.
Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
