Résumé

  • - 31 IRM de verge ont été réalisées chez 28 patients suspects de maladie de La Peyronie de La Peyronie. Les images obtenues ont été confrontées aux données cliniques et à l’évolution après traitement anti-inflammatoire.

  • - 5 nodules palpables étaient méconnus à l’IRM, mais l’IRM objectivait plus de lésions que de nodules palpables dans 5 autres cas.

Une prise de Gadolinium permettait de prévoir constament un effet favorable des anti-inflammatories.

  • - L’IRM nous semble donc apte à contribuer au bilan lésionnel et à la surveillance évolutive de la maladie de La Peyronie.

Abstract

Purpose

to determine diagnosis and prognosis value of MRI in Peyronie’s disease.

Material and Methods

thirty one penile MR examinations have been performed in 28 patients aged between 21 and 73. (1 tesla; surface coil; sagittal SET1, axial SET2 weighted, T1 before and after Gadolinium)

  • - In all cases but one, fibrous plaques were clinically palpable.

  • - Images were compared with clinical examination and evolution under anti-inflammatory drugs.

Results

  • - In 3 cases, MRI misdiagnosed one unique plague.

  • - In 2 additional cases, one of the 2 clinical plaques was not detected.

  • - In 5 cases, MRI depicted more lesions than palpation.

  • - Gadolinium Enhancement was always correlated with a good response to anti-inflamatory drugs but this treatment was also useful in one case who showed no enhancement.

Conclusion

MRI can be helpfull in the pretreatment assessment and int he follow-up of Peyronie’s disease.
