title: Dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma lhermitte-duclos disease imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
abstract: Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare, benign, slow-growing, unilateral mass of the cerebellar cortex. Our case is that of a 71-year-old male with a superior cerebellar lesion consistent with LDD on imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). It has been reported that MRS can be a valuable diagnostic addition, as it allows for a non-invasive diagnosis and analysis to distinguish a benign lesion, such as an intraparenchymal lesion, and in our case, from a true neoplastic lesion.
