Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumor (MVNT) of the cerebrum is a benign lesion described recently in the WHO CNS tumours in 2016. Although this tumour is uncommon, clinicians should be acquainted with the possible presentation and imaging findings.
We present a case of a young gentleman whose only symptom was absence seizures. Brain imaging showed lesions, compatible with this rare diagnosis.
Our description of imaging findings on MRI highlights the characteristic cystic appearances of note in the right occipital lobe, in contrast to the temporal lobe as the predominant location found in previous cases.
大脑多结节空泡状神经元肿瘤(MVNT)是2016年世界卫生组织中枢神经系统肿瘤分类中最近描述的一种良性病变。尽管这种肿瘤并不常见,但临床医生应熟悉其可能的临床表现和影像学表现。
我们报告一例年轻男性病例,其唯一症状为失神发作。脑部影像学检查显示有病变,符合这一罕见诊断。
我们对MRI影像学表现的描述突出了右侧枕叶值得注意的特征性囊性表现,这与先前病例中以颞叶为主要发病部位不同。
