Progression of Low-Grade Glioma Into High-Grade Glioma: Conventional, Perfusion MR And MR Spectroscopy Findings

Abstract

Astrocytic tumors have the propensity to change from low-grade to high-grade lesions. Though, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate the two histopathologic entities with conventional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) findings only. In such circumstances, perfusion MRI with its ability to demonstrate tumoral vascularity indirectly and MR spectroscopy highlighting cellular metabolism can provide additional information about physiology. In this case, we reported the progression of a low-grade tumor into a high-grade lesion with the conventional and perfusion MRI and also MR spectroscopy findings in the light of the literature. In high-grade tumors, apparently high rCBV ratios were depicted as a result of vascular proliferation. Remarkable increase of the cholin peak, moderate increase of the lactate peak and apparent decrease of the n-acetyl aspartate peak were identified at MR spectroscopy.
