Overview
On CT scan of the head, ganglioglioma is characterized by iso- or hypodense, calcification, bone remodeling, and enhancement of solid non-calcified component.
CT
Head CT scan is helpful in the diagnosis of ganglioglioma. On CT scan, ganglioglioma may appear as either a partially cystic mass or as a solid mass. An infiltrating mass on CT reflects higher grade.[1]
On head CT scan, ganglioglioma is characterized by:
- Iso- or hypodense
- Frequently calcified ~35%
- Bone remodeling or thinning (indicates the slow growing nature of the tumor)
- Enhancement in 50% of cases (involving the solid non-calcified component)
