Gliomatosis cerebri: a case report with autopsy correlation

Neuroradiology. 1992;34(4):331-3. doi: 10.1007/BF00588195.

Abstract

MRI-autopsy correlation in a case of gliomatosis cerebri suggests that poor gray-white matter demarcation on MRI may be sign of neoplastic infiltration. The extent of infiltration is imperfectly assessed by current imaging modalities.
