Abstract:
A case of a patient with neurologic symptoms is reported. Baseline MRI findings were inconclusive to establish a definitive diagnosis. The worsened neurologic and neuroradiologic pattern directed towards a diagnosis of tumor. A second MRI examination and MR-spectroscopy confirmed the hypothesis based on both the diagnosis of nature of the lesion and the histological characterization of the surgical specimen. The technique of MR-spectroscopy is briefly described.
