Abstract:
Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor (MVNT) is a relatively new disease concept proposed in 2013 and was classified as a separate tumor type in 2021 by the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. MVNT can cause seizures but is a benign disease, with no cases of enlargement or postoperative recurrence reported. Recent reports described advanced MRI features in MVNT cases, but the diagnosis of MVNT is usually based on characteristic MRI findings of clusters of nodules. Here, we report advanced multiparametric MRI and FDG-PET/CT findings in a case of MVNT with epileptiform symptoms that was pathologically confirmed by surgery.
