0:00

Here is another example.

0:01

A 28-year-old male patient presenting with headaches,

0:06

had this large tumor, very well-defined, homogeneously

0:12

bright on T2-weighted images in the right frontal lobe,

0:16

shows dark signal on the FLAIR images.

0:19

Majority of the tumor,

0:21

the central part of the tumor, showing you dark signal,

0:23

loss of signal on the FLAIR images,

0:25

except this peripheral thin rim of bright signal

0:28

and again, not showing contrast enhancement,

0:32

as you can see on the post-contrast images.

0:34

And showing you a rather facilitated diffusion on

0:38

the diffusion-weighted images. And again,

0:41

this is another example of a classic T2

0:44

FLAIR mismatch sign,

0:46

as we now know is...

0:48

and proven to be an IDH-mutated,

0:51

non-correlated 1P/19Q co-relation was found,

0:56

and an IDH-mutated astrocytoma.
