متن کاملInflammatory 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 کاملTeaching neuroImages: Rest tremor mimicking ventricular tachycardia.
