Özet
Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumors (MVNT) are indolent, low-grade, superficial neuronal tumors of the cerebrum that consist only of neuronal cells in adults. They were first reported in 2013 by Huse et al. and defined by the World Health Organization in 2016. MVNT is characterized by vacuolated tumor nodules with glial and/or neuronal differentiation histopathologically. MVNT is most commonly located in the temporal lobe. Radiologically, it has a subcortical, soap-bubble morphology, sometimes extending to the cortex, and is almost as hyperintense as cerebrospinal fluid on T2-weighted images. Its signal is not suppressed on the FLAIR sequence, and there is no diffusion restriction on diffusion-weighted images. Usually, there is no enhancement after gadolinium injections, but a few reports show weak enhancement in the literature. In the first case, we present a 22-year-old female with MVNT who …
