Abstract:
Lhermitte-Duclos disease is a rare benign lesion of uncertain pathogenesis characterized by distortion of the normal cerebellar laminar cytoarchitecture. There is a characteristic MR imaging appearance of a nonenhancing mass in the cerebellar hemisphere with a striated pattern. We report two cases of Lhermitte-Duclos disease and describe findings on diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
