Summary: This study reports the MR spectroscopic patterns of two patients with bithalamic glioma. In one patient, phosphorus (³¹P) MR spectroscopy was performed. In both patients, the proton MR spectroscopic scans showed an increased creatine-phosphocreatine peak in the tumor. In the patient who underwent ³¹P-MR spectroscopy, an increased phosphocreatine peak was also observed. This group of thalamic tumors may be distinguished from other gliomas clinically, radiologically, and metabolically.
