Lhermitte-Duclos Disease (Dysplastic Cerebellar Gangliocytoma) in a Young Patient
Lhermitte Duclos disease also called dysplastic gangliocytoma of cerebellum is an extremely rare cerebellar neoplasm. It usually presents with raised intracranial pressure along with cerebellar signs. We report a rare case of Lhermitte Duclos disease of a 20 years male who presented with signs & symptoms of raised intracranial tension. CT features were suggestive of Lhermitte-Duclos disease. Su...
متن کاملAcute Hydrocephalus Revealing Unusual Cerebellar Mass: Dysplastic Cerebellar Gangliocytoma or Lhermitte-Duclos Disease (LDD)
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) or dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum is a rare benign lesion of uncertain pathogenesis characterized by overgrowth of cerebellar ganglion cells which replace granular cells and Purkinje cells; this results in gross thickening of the cerebellar folia. It is revealed by symptoms of raised intracranial pressure, cerebellar impairment and obstructive hydrocep...
متن کاملAssessing a Dysplastic Cerebellar Gangliocytoma (Lhermitte-Duclos Disease) with 7T MR Imaging
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD; dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma) is a rare hamartomatous lesion of the cerebellar cortex and this was first described in 1920. LDD is considered to be part of the autosomal-dominant phacomatosis and cancer syndrome Cowden disease (CS). We examined the brain of a 46-year-old man, who displayed the manifestations of CS, with 7 Tesla (T) and 1.5 T MRI and 1.5 T M...
متن کاملPituitary adenoma with gangliocytoma: Report of two cases
Worldwide, cases of pituitary adenoma with gangliocytoma are rarely reported. The current study reports the cases of two 47-year-old females who presented with masses in the sellar region following a general examination and radiological imaging. The two patients underwent sellar region tumor resection via the trans-naso-sphenoid approach. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosi...
متن کاملSupratentorial Gangliocytoma Mimicking Extra-axial Tumor: A Report of Two Cases
We report two cases of supratentorial gangliocytomas mimicking an extra-axial tumor. MR imaging indicated that the tumors were extra-axial, and meningiomas were thus initially diagnosed. Relative to gray matter, the tumors were hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. On contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, homogeneous enhancement was observed, while CT scannin...
