5 m.Summary
2 m.0:00
So here is a 31-year-old female
0:02
presenting with headaches.
0:04
And the MRI shows a rather well-defined
0:09
mass in the right medial temporal lobe.
0:12
And you can see that the tumor is
0:15
kind of homogeneously bright,
0:17
very well-defined on T2 two weighted images.
0:20
But more importantly is majority of the tumor is
0:24
dark in the central part on the FLAIR images,
0:27
except this thin peripheral bright
0:29
rim on the FLAIR images.
0:31
And this is what we call a T2 FLAIR mismatch sign.
0:35
And typically, these tumors also do not
0:39
show any enhancement.
0:39
As you can see,
0:40
there is no enhancement
0:42
on the post-contrast images.
0:43
And majority of these tumors also show very
0:47
facilitated diffusion in this
0:49
central portion of the tumor,
0:51
which is almost gelatinous
0:54
and very soft on surgery.
0:57
Neurosurgeons will classically
0:59
tell you that these are
1:00
gelatinous soft tumors,
1:01
which are very easy to resect.
1:03
And this is what we have described
1:07
as the T2 FLAIR mismatch sign.
1:09
A classic example in a younger patient.
1:12
And once we see this sign,
1:13
we know that this tumor is going to be IDH-mutated
1:17
non-codeleted astrocytoma.
1:20
And this is one example over here.
