Left Side Weakening and High-Field MRI Brain Scanning of Angiocentric Glioma: A Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This case report details the history, diagnosis, and follow-up of a 16-year-old male of South Asian descent who presented to the emergency room with left side weakening and numbness, decreased vision, and headaches. Radiologic evaluation with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results and findings are discussed. In addition, a comparison between low-field and high-field MRI is given with some benefits of intraoperative MRI. Possible advantages of using high-field MRI are given. The patient’s treatment regimen and follow-up care are presented to better educate the radiologic technology community.

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiform is the most common malignant brain tumor, with an invasive nature. Despite the development of conventional therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, because of high recurrence rates, the prognosis remains very poor. Over the last decade, nanotechnology has represented an innovative method as nanoparticle-based drug delivery ...
متن کاملImaging characteristics of an unusual, high-grade angiocentric glioma: a case report and review of the literature.
Angiocentric gliomas have recently been reclassified as a separate central nervous system tumor. Few cases have been reported, and most of those correspond to slow-growing, low-grade neoplasms in very young pediatric patients. Here we describe magnetic resonance imaging findings (including diffusion imaging, spectroscopy and tractography) in an unusual higher-grade neoplasm with pathologic feat...
