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

CT scan of the head 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 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)
