Streaming hypointensity in hemorrhagic glioblastoma multiforme. An illustrative case.
The computed tomography, the magnetic resonance and the angiographic features of a patient with the unusual findings of multicentric intraparenchymal, subependymal and intraventricular hemorrhage in association with glioblastoma multiforme are presented. The utility of MR in demonstrating an irregular, streaming pattern of hypointensity within the lesion (and thereby suggesting an underlying neoplasm) is briefly discussed.
