Non-infantile variant of desmoplastic ganglioglioma: Conventional and advanced MR imaging characteristics

Neuroradiol J. 2015 Jun;28(3):259-63. doi: 10.1177/1971400915595579.

Abstract

Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma is a paediatric brain tumor that is commonly seen in the infantile age group. Literature on the non-infantile variant of this low-grade supratentorial neoplasm is very scarce, except for a few case reports. Herein, we report a case of desmoplastic non-infantile ganglioglioma occurring at the age of 6 years and describe its conventional and advanced magnetic resonance imaging characteristics.

Keywords: MRI; desmoplastic ganglioglioma; diffusion; perfusion; spectroscopy.
