title: Contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI is useful to detect the CSF dissemination of glioblastoma.
abstract: We present three cases of glioblastoma with CSF dissemination that contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI was sensitive enough to detect compared with contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI. An autopsy was performed on one patient, and its histologic findings proved the existence of CSF dissemination.
