Abstract:
T2-FLAIR mismatch sign has been advocated to be 100% specific for IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted gliomas (diffuse astrocytomas). However, false positives have been reported in recent works. Loose application of the criteria may lead to erroneous classification, especially by non-trained neuroradiologists. In this pictorial essay, we aim to bring attention to the need for strict criteria for the application of T2-FLAIR mismatch sign and to discuss the potential pitfalls in the application of these criteria. For that, a series of adult brain tumour cases are presented to demonstrate how to apply this radiological sign in the clinical practice.
