Overview
Brain MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of neoplastic meningitis. On MRI, neoplastic meningitis is characterized by normal T1- and T2-weighted images. On contrast administration, there may be leptomeningeal enhancement scattered over the brain in a 'sugar coated' manner, which is fairly diagnostic for neoplastic meningitis.[1]
MRI [2]
- Brain MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of neoplastic meningitis with sensitivity and specificity estimated to be around 66-98% and 77-97.7% respectively.
- The most sensitive MRI component are contrast-enhanced T1 weight and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences.
- Findings that are fairly suggestive of neoplastic meningitis include nodular meningeal tumor, meningeal thickening > 3 mm, and a subjectively strong contrast enhancement. A smooth contrast enhancement of the meninges is typical for inflammatory, nonneoplastic meningitis.[3]
- On MRI, neoplastic meningitis is characterized by:[1]
| MRI component | Findings |
|---|---|
|
T1 |
|
|
T2 |
|
|
T1 with contrast |
|
|
Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery |
