Overview
MRI
Brain MRI scan is helpful in the diagnosis of ganglioglioma. On MRI, it is characterized by:
- T1
:*Solid component iso- to hypointense
- T1 C+ (Gd)
**Solid component variable contrast enhancement
- T2
**Hyperintense solid component
- Variable signal in the cystic component(depending on amount of proteinaceous material or presence of blood products)
- Peritumoral FLAIR/T2 edema is rare
- T2* (GE/SWI)
**Calcified areas shows blooming signal loss
