Abstract
We report one case of histologically proved Lhermitte-Duclos disease. Suspected on the basis of CT and angiography, the pre-operative diagnosis has been confirmed by the characteristic features of the lesion on MRI: a unilateral posterior fossa mass, hyperintense on proton density and T2-weighted images, hypointense on T1-weighted images, non enhancing after Gd administration. The gyral pattern was preserved, but a specific thickening of cerebellar folia was demonstrated. Despite a good post-operative short term prognosis, recurrence may occur. With a better depiction of lesion limits, MRI could improve the surgical approach and reduce the risk of subtotal excision.
