Inflammatory demyelinating disease mimicking malignant glioma.
UNLABELLED The differential diagnosis between inflammatory demyelinating disease and malignant glioma is difficult based only on neuroimaging methods. METHODS Four patients with inflammatory demyelinating disease who presented with clinical and neuroimaging findings strongly suggestive of malignant glioma were examined. RESULTS MRI showed a mass lesion with prolonged T1 and T2 values and ga...
متن کاملIntracranial abscess complicating diverticulitis with CT scan mimicking primary glioma.
The case of a 64 year old woman with diverticulitis complicated by a metastatic cerebral abscess is reported. Presentation was atypical and investigations were misleading; the computed tomographic scan was interpreted as showing a glioma. This case demonstrates that malignancy should never be assumed and the importance of making a histological diagnosis. Once the abscess was drained the patient...

متن کاملDemyelinating disease simulating brain tumours: a histopathologic assessment of seven cases.
BACKGROUND Demyelinating diseases can present as space occupying lesions with in the brain. It is clinically and radiologically difficult to differentiate them from primary neoplasms. Histopathologically they mimic astrocytic neoplasms closely and identifying these lesions correctly has a profound impact in treatment and prognosis of these patients. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The objective was to de...
متن کاملPrimary extradural intracranial hydatid disease: CT appearance.
Hydatid disease has been reported with varying frequency in most body organs . Computed tomography (CT), with its tremendous impact on neuroradiology, now has a major role in diagnosing intracerebral hydatidosis [1]. Primary intracranial epidural hydatids are extremely rare, and, in a review of the English-language li terature, we were unable to find any bona fide case unassociated with cranial...
