Conventional and perfusion MR imaging of parafalcine chondrosarcoma.
Intracranial chondrosarcomas have a predilection for the skull base, for which CT and MR imaging findings have been described. We present a rare case of primary chondrosarcoma arising from the falx in a young woman with no history of radiation. The CT, conventional MR imaging, perfusion MR imaging, and digital subtraction angiography findings are described.
