Cerebellomedullary ganglioglioma: CT and MR findings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of cerebellomedullary ganglioglioma in a young child with indolent clinical symptoms. CT demonstrated a region of hypodensity with central contrast enhancement in the right cerebellar hemisphere and the inferior peduncle. On MR the lesion was iosintense on T1-weighted images with fairly homogeneous enhancement with gadolinium, and of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.

Intracranial ganglioglioma: MR, CT, and clinical findings in 18 patients.
Eighteen cases of pathologically proved intracranial gangliogliomas were reviewed to determine their MR, CT, and clinical characteristics. Seventeen patients were evaluated with contrast-enhanced CT and 14 were studied by MR imaging. Eight tumors were predominantly cystic; half of these demonstrated some contrast enhancement, and five contained calcifications. These cystic gangliogliomas were l...
متن کاملDesmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma: CT and MR features.
In 1987, VandenBerg and colleagues [1] reported 11 cases of an apparently distinct clinicopathologic entity: desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma. The patients were all infants who presented with large tumors that showed evidence of glial and ganglionic differentiation accompanied by an extreme desmoplastic reaction. Routinely, the prognosis was excellent following either partial or complete tu...

PURPOSE To date there have been only scattered case reports comparing the nuclear medicine characteristics of gangliogliomas with their histologic grade. We sought to determine the relative usefulness of nuclear medicine scanning, CT, and MR imaging in predicting the histologic grade of these tumors. METHODS Eleven cases of pathologically proved ganglioglioma were analyzed retrospectively. Pr...
متن کاملIntracerebral gangliogliomas in patients with partial complex seizures: CT and MR imaging findings.
The clinical and radiologic findings in 19 patients with partial complex seizures and surgically proved intracerebral gangliogliomas were reviewed to characterize the radiologic features of these lesions. The CT and MR findings were not specific. On CT the gangliogliomas can be hypodense with no enhancement and they often have calcifications. On MR these tumors have a wide variety of signals. I...
متن کاملDysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors: MR and CT evaluation.
PURPOSE To evaluate dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) on MR and CT studies and to compare DNT with other frequently encountered epileptogenic glioneuronal lesions. METHODS We analyzed the MR images and CT scans of 16 patients who had complex partial epilepsy and DNT with respect to tumor location, size, CT density, MR signal intensity, mass effect, contrast enhancement, and heter...
