Isolated diffusion restriction precedes the development of enhancing tumor in a subset of patients with glioblastoma.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most response criteria for patients with glioblastoma rely on increases in the contrast enhancing abnormality to determine tumor progression. Our aim was to determine retrospectively in patients with glioblastoma whether diffusion restriction can predict the development of new enhancing mass lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the brain MR imaging scans (includin...

Differentiating Malignant Glioma from Metastasis Using Regions of Interest Generated by a Novel Diffusion Tensor Segmentation Algorithm

Introduction: Intracranial metastases and primary malignant gliomas (glioblastoma multiforme, GBM) account for the majority of brain tumours in adults. These tumours may have similar contrast enhancement and signal intensity patterns on conventional MRI sequences however management and prognosis varies significantly between the two. Previous studies have identified differences using diffusion t...

Glioblastoma multiforme of the conus medullaris in a child: description of a case and literature review.

We describe a case of glioblastoma multiforme of the conus medullaris in a child. MR imaging showed at the T12-L1 level an intramedullary mass with signal alteration, with only two nodules of contrast enhancement. The finding was consistent with astrocytoma. Pathologic evaluation was consistent with glioblastoma multiforme. Nine months after the surgical treatment, the patient showed leptomenin...

Glioblastoma Presenting with Steroid-Induced Pseudoregression of Contrast Enhancement on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Corticosteroid-induced reduction in contrast enhancement on radiographic imaging is most commonly associated with lymphoma but has been reported in other entities, including glioma. This finding may represent a diagnostic dilemma. Concern that steroid-induced cytotoxicity obscures histological diagnosis of suspected lymphoma may lead to postponement of a biopsy. If glioma is not considered in t...
