颅内神经节细胞胶质瘤的MRI表现

目的：探讨颅内神经节细胞胶质瘤的MRI表现。方法：回顾性分析19例经手术病理证实的颅内神经节细胞胶质瘤的临床、病理及MRI表现。结果：19例中1例表现为2个病灶,18例为单发病灶。囊实性8例和实性11例。囊实性肿瘤中囊性部分MRI平扫表现为长T1、长T2信号,增强扫描2例囊壁可见环形强化,6例囊壁无强化;实性部分MRI平扫表现为稍长T1、稍长T2异常信号影,增强扫描2例无明显强化,1例呈条纹状强化,2例呈明显不均匀强化,明显壁结节样强化3例。11例实性肿瘤中MRI平扫示1例病灶呈长T1、长T2信号改变,1例呈囊实性信号表现,此2例增强扫描示瘤内长T2信号区均有不同程度的强化;其余9例病灶表现为稍长T1、稍长T2信号,增强扫描无明显强化3例,片絮状浅淡强化4例,明显不均匀强化2例。结论：颅内神经节细胞胶质瘤的MRI表现无明显特异性,但是当MRI上表现为囊实性肿块、尤其是伴有壁结节样强化,或者实性肿块且强化及水肿均不明显,而且系以癫痫为主要症状的年轻患者时,应考虑到神经节细胞胶质瘤的可能。

MRI manifestations of cranial ganglioglioma

Objective:To explore the MRI manifestations of cranial ganglioglioma and to improve its recognition.Methods:The clinical and imaging materials of 19 cases of cranial ganglioglioma confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results:On MRI,only one case showed two lesions,and all the others manifested single lesions.The MRI features of cranial ganglioglioma in the present cohort consisted of two patterns:cystic-solid mass(n=8) and solid mass(n=11).In the former,the cystic part was show...
