A useful sign in diagnosing an astrocytoma is described. It consists simply of observing whether the patient moves on to the CT table of his own accord. A case is presented where the CT findings were of a large, low attenuation lesion in the cerebral white matter and where the sign was positive. This indicated that the diagnosis was a low grade astrocytoma rather than infarction, cerebritis or oedema of another cause.
描述了一种诊断星形细胞瘤的有用体征。它仅仅包括观察患者是否能自行移动到CT检查台上。报告了一例病例，CT表现为脑白质内一个大的低密度病变，该体征为阳性。这表明诊断为低级别星形细胞瘤，而非梗死、脑炎或其他原因引起的水肿。
