Abstract:
Objective To enhance the correctness in the diagnosis of diffuse neurogliomatosis. Methods Patients with diffuse neurogliomatosis were analyzed in terms of manifestations, signs, and MI images. Craniotomy was performed in 2 patients and stereotaxic biopsy in 2. The diagnosis was verified pathologically. Results Increased intracraniopressure was noted in all patients. Two brain lobes were involved in 1 patient, and 3 in others. MRI showed low or equal signal areas in T1W1, and high ones in T2W1. Brain edema was note without necrosis, cyst, and bleeding. MRI occupying effect was not significant, corpus callosum enlarged, and no enhancement demonstrated. Conclusions Diffuse neurogliomatosis has specific features on MRI. Craniotomy or stereotaxic biopsy was the best choice for diagnosis. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be used.
