title: Computed tomographic appearances in microgliomatosis.
abstract: The computed tomography (CT) appearances of 11 patients with microgliomatosis have been reviewed, and as a result it is possible to suggest that there may be typical features for the recognition of such tumours. In this series three fairly distinctive patterns were encountered. In view of their reputed response to radiotherapy, there is a strong case for making the diagnosis of such lesions, and CT has given the opportunity of alerting the surgeon and the pathologist to the likelihood of their presence at an early stage.
