Overview
Brain MRI is helpful in the diagnosis of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. On MRI, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is characterized by hypo- to isointensity on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging. There may be marked enhancement on contrast administration.[1]
MRI
Brain MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Findings on MRI suggestive of/diagnostic of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma include:[2][3]
- Well circumscribed mass
- Perilesional edema
- T1 isointense and hypointense signal enhancement
- T2 isointense and hyperintense signal enhancement
- Calcification
- Cyst
- Enlargement of ventricles
- Homogenous postcontrast enhancement
- Serial MRI every 1-3 years is recommended in asymptomatic patients younger than 25 as tumor growth is more common in these patients.[2]
