Diffusion-weighted MRI in Lhermitte-Duclos disease: report of two cases

Gul Moonis et al. Neuroradiology. 2004 May.

Abstract

Lhermitte-Duclos disease is a rare benign lesion of uncertain pathogenesis characterized by distortion of the normal cerebellar laminar cytoarchitecture. There is a characteristic MR imaging appearance of a nonenhancing mass in the cerebellar hemisphere with a striated pattern. We report two cases of Lhermitte-Duclos disease and describe findings on diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
