Summary The MRI and CT studies of four patients with ganglion cell tumours, one with a cerebellar gangliocytoma (Lhermitte-Duclos disease), and three with gangliogliomas are reported. MRI in Lhermitte-Duclos disease clearly demonstrated a mass of low signal intensity in the left cerebellum on T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) images and an area of high signal intensity with a blurred margin on T2-weighted SE images. These MRI studies were useful for delineating the lesion, which was verified at surgery. In the ganglioglioma, MRI demonstrated two isointense solid masses on T1-weighted SE images, which enhanced clearly with Gd-DTPA. The enhancement study was advantageous in planning surgery.
