Overview
Schwannomas appear on T1 as isointense or hypointense, T1 C+ (Gd) intense enhancement,T2- heterogeneously hyperintense (Antoni A: relatively low, Antoni B: high), cystic degenerative areas may be present, especially in larger tumors, T2- larger tumors often have areas of hemosiderin. Signs can also be useful in diagnosing such as split-fat sign: thin peripheral rim of fat best seen on planes along long axis of the lesion in non-fat-suppressed sequences, target sign: peripheral high T2 signal, central low signal rarely seen intracranially, fascicular sign: multiple small ring-like structures.
MRI
Schwannomas have fairly predictable signal characteristics [1] [2][3][4] [5][6] :
- T1: isointense or hypointense
- T1 C+ (Gd): intense enhancement
- T2: heterogeneously hyperintense (Antoni A: relatively low, Antoni B: high)
- cystic degenerative areas may be present, especially in larger tumors
- T2*: larger tumors often have areas of hemosiderin
A number of signs can also be useful:
- split-fat sign: thin peripheral rim of fat best seen on planes along long axis of the lesion in non-fat-suppressed sequences
- target sign
- peripheral high T2 signal
- central low signal
- rarely seen intracranially 7
- fascicular sign: multiple small ring-like structures
