| [Abstract] Objective: Try to summarize some part of the MRI imaging features of intracephalic gangliocytoma.Materials and Methods: The MRI features of 5 cases of intracephalic gangliocytoma proved by surgery and pathology were investigated retrospectively, and the location of tumor, tumor shape, boundary, signal and enhancement were analyzed retrospectively and literature was reviewed.Results: Five cases of intracephalic gangliocytoma were located in the temporal lobe (n= 4), cerebellar vermis (n=1), the shape of tumors showed round (n=3), a big cyst-solidary (n=1), and irregular (n=1). MRI signal of tumors were hypointense (n=4) or mildly hyperintense (n=1) on T1 and mildly hyperintense (n=4) or mildly hypointense (n=1) on T2, while signal confounding (n=4). CT and MRI suggested calcification (n=3). There were no edema (n=1), mildly edema (n=3) and moderate edema (n=1). The tumors were mild enhancement (n=2) and moderate enhancement (n=3).Conclusions: This group of cases about intracephalic gangliocytoma showed MRI findings diversely, but the basic consistent with the characteristics of benign tumor. The predilection sites were higher incidence of temporal lobe, and these cases showed higher incidence of calcification, more common in young people. All the manifest perhaps could do some help for the future clinical work of imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis. |
