Overview
CT
Head CT scan is helpful in the diagnosis of ganglioglioma. Partially cystic mass with an enhancing mural nodule is seen in 45% of cases. They may also simply present as a solid mass expanding the overlying gyrus. An infiltrating mass is uncommon and may reflect higher grade.
On Head CT scan, ganglioglioma is characterized by:
- Iso- or hypodense
- Frequently calcified ~35%
- Bony remodeling or thinning (indicates the slow growing nature of the tumor)
- Enhancement in 50% of cases (involving the solid non-calcified component)
