Abstract:
ObjectiveTo characterize gliomatosis cerebri on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and analyze differential diagnosis.MethodsMRI studies of 12 patients with gliomatosis cerebri were reviewed.ResultsTumors involved at least two lobes of the brain in all patients. Widespread invasion with hyperintensity was noted on T2-weighted MR images. No contrast enhancement occurred.Tumors were confirmed with surgery or biopsy.ConclusionGliomatosis cerebri is best detected with MRI.
