MR of isolated leptomeningeal glioma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the MR study of a case of high-grade glioma that mimics leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Superficial gliomas should thus be included in the differential diagnosis of isolated meningeal enhancement.

Integrated Systems and Technologies An NMR Metabolomics Approach for the Diagnosis of Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) is the thirdmost commonmetastatic complication of the central nervous system. However, the current modalities to reliably diagnose this condition are not satisfactory. Here, we report a preclinical proof of concept for a metabolomics-based diagnostic strategy using a rat LC model incorporating glioma cells that stably express green fluorescent protein. Cytolog...
متن کاملSolitary Primary Leptomeningeal Glioma: Case Report
We report a case of solitary primary leptomeningeal glioma. The mass was totally removed under awake surgery. Intraoperatively, no parenchymal involvement was noted. Histopathological study revealed a predominant anaplastic oligodendroglioma component and a focal anaplastic astrocytoma component, which was consistent with an anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. Adjuvant tomotherapy was followed and the...
متن کاملMR imaging of leptomeningeal metastases: comparison of three sequences.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent work has shown that fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging with contrast enhancement is highly sensitive for detecting subarachnoid space disease. We hypothesized that contrast-enhanced FLAIR imaging has superior sensitivity to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging in detecting leptomeningeal metastases. METHODS Sixty-eight patients referred for s...
متن کاملGd-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging of leptomeningeal spread of primary intracranial CNS tumor in children.
Three children with known primary brain neoplasms and leptomeningeal disease were evaluated with MR imaging. Two of the patients had medulloblastoma and one had pineoblastoma. The presence of leptomeningeal tumor spread was established by positive CSF cytopathology in conjunction with compatible contrast-enhanced CT findings. Contrast-enhanced CT, nonenhanced MR, and Gd-DTPA-enhanced MR studies...

Dr. André Leite Gonçalves – Division of Child Neurology / Departamento de Neurologia e Neurocirurgia Rua Botucatu 720 – 04023-900 São Paulo SP Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Glioma arising primarily from the leptomeninges is extremely rare and often diagnosed only in postmortem examination. It is thought to derive from heterotopic nests of neuroglial tissue within the leptomeninges, w...
