An unusual frontal ganglioglioma: CT and MRI

Neuroradiology. 1994 May;36(4):311-2. doi: 10.1007/BF00593268.

Abstract

We describe a ganglioglioma with atypical radiological appearances, in an uncommon location. CT showed a nonenhancing low-density lesion without calcification. On MRI the lesion gave nonspecific low signal on T1-weighted images and high signal on T2-weighted images. The tumour was in the right frontal lobe, producing bulging and thinning of the calvarium.
