Abnormal diffusion-weighted MRI in medulloblastoma: does it reflect small cell histology?
- 1. Departments of Diagnostic Radiology, Hahnemann University Hospitals and St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Philadelphia, PA (United States)
Description
A 12-year-old boy presented with the classic CT and MRI findings of medulloblastoma and the unusual finding of increased signal on diffusion MRI. The small-cell histology of medulloblastoma may account for the increased signal seen on diffusion MRI. Diffusion MRI with echoplanar technique may be useful in evaluation of these tumors and metastatic disease. (orig.)
