Brain tumors with ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy
T Maehara, T Machida, K Tsuchiya and M Iio
Brain tumors with secondary ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy are so rare that only seven cases have been reported in the literature. Three new cases are presented and the clinical findings in all 10 cases are reviewed. The diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) is emphasized. The authors conclude that nodular high-density lesions located deep in the cerebrum and showing slight contrast enhancement on CT may be associated with ipsilateral cerebral hemiatrophy in young male patients with slowly progressive hemiparesis, dementia, and personality change. In such cases, early diagnosis of germinoma and subsequent radiotherapy may prevent unnecessary surgery.
