The most common primary cerebellar tumor is hemangioblastoma, a lesion which is associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MR)-detectable vascularity in over 60%. Lhermitte-Duclos disease is an uncommon cause of a cerebellar mass that is not typically vascular.
Computed tomography (CT), MRI with and without contrast, and magnetic resonance venography was performed in a patient with a cerebellar mass.
The cerebellar mass was noted to have a prominent vessel, as well as an associated syrinx. In spite of MRI-detectable vascularity, the striped appearance of the lesion was felt to be typical of Lhermitte-Duclos disease. At surgery, the mass was resected and the diagnosis of Lhermitte-Duclos disease was confirmed.
The diagnosis of Lhermitte-Duclos disease should be made when MRI shows a parallel linear "tiger-striped" lesion of the cerebellum. The presence of an enlarged vessel and/or syrinx should not deter one from making the preoperative diagnosis.
最常见的原发性小脑肿瘤是血管母细胞瘤,超过60%的该病变与磁共振成像(MR)可检测到的血管有关。Lhermitte-Duclos病是小脑肿块的一种罕见病因,通常无血管表现。
对一名患有小脑肿块的患者进行了计算机断层扫描(CT)、有无对比剂的MRI以及磁共振静脉造影。
发现小脑肿块有一条明显的血管以及一个相关的空洞。尽管MRI可检测到血管,但该病变的条纹状外观被认为是Lhermitte-Duclos病的典型表现。手术中,切除了肿块,确诊为Lhermitte-Duclos病。
当MRI显示小脑有平行线性“虎条纹”病变时,应诊断为Lhermitte-Duclos病。血管增粗和/或空洞的存在不应妨碍术前诊断。
