    Correlation between MRI findings and long-term outcome in patients with severe brain trauma (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Our aim was to relate MRI findings in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) to clinical severity and long-term outcome. We studied 37 patients with severe TBI, who were submitted to clinical assessment for disability and cognition and to MRI 60–90 days after trauma. Clinical assessment was also performed 3, 6 and 12 months later. The number and volume of lesions in various cerebral structures were calculated semiautomatically from FLAIR and fast field-echo images. Possible correlations between total and regional lesion volume and clinical deficits were then investigated. The frontal and temporal lobes were most frequently involved. Total lesion volume on FLAIR images correlated significantly with clinical outcome, whereas that on FFE images did not. Regional analysis showed that FLAIR lesion volume in the corpus callosum correlated significantly with scores on disability and cognition scales at the first clinical assessment. FLAIR lesion volume in the frontal lobes correlated significantly with clinical scores 1 year later.

    Radiological assessment of necrosis in glioblastoma: variability and prognostic value (1998)

    Notes: Abstract In a previous study, we found that the extent of necrosis was the only radiological feature which correlated significantly with survival in patients with glioblastoma. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the variability and prognostic value of the extent of the necrotic area as seen on contrast-enhanced MRI and CT in a larger series. We studied 72 patients who underwent surgical removal of supratentorial glioblastomas and had CT and/or MRI with contrast medium before surgery; 38, all undergoing the same treatment (surgery plus radiotherapy), were followed clinically. Necrosis within the tumour varied greatly, ranging from none (only 1 case) to involvement of 76 % of the tumour. Survival data in the subgroup suggested that only patients with a small area of necrosis (less than 35 % of the tumour) had a significantly longer survival time. When necrosis involved more than 35 % of the mass, patients had a shorter survival time, without any further correlation with the extent of necrosis.

    Supratentorial glioblastoma: neuroradiological findings and survival after surgery and radiotherapy (1996)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Few studies have attempted to correlate neuroimaging with outcome in patients with glioblastoma. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between neuroradiological findings and survival in these patients. We studied 18 consecutive patients with glioblastoma who had undergone surgery and radiotherapy. We assessed the following features, using preoperative CT and/or MRI: tumour size, extent of necrotic area within the mass, extent of perifocal oedema and contrast enhancement. The mean survival was 14.2 ± 5 months (range 6–22). The extent of radiological evidence of necrosis within the mass correlated significantly with survival time, whereas tumour size, perifocal oedema and contrast enhancement did not.

    Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma with CT and MRI appearance of meningioma (1999)

    Notes: Abstract We describe a pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) in a young girl whose frontal lobe location, solid structure, dural tail and MRI signal characteristics led to a preoperative diagnosis of meningioma. PXA should be considered in differential diagnosis of tumours affecting young patients with neuroradiological characteristics suggestive of meningioma.
