Gliomatosis cerebri: two case reports with atypical clinical and neuroradiological findings

The diagnosis of the rare disease Gliomatosis cerebri requires the correlat ion of clinical, radiological,and pathological findings. We report on two p atients with intravitally diagnosed gliomatosis cerebri. Due to the unusual ly high malignancy of the tumor cells, diagnosis was complicated by atypica l findings such as gadolinium enhancement in MRI and raised intracranial pr essure. The clinical course, differential diagnosis,and literature are summ arized briefly.
