Overview

The diagnosis of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma can be made with either an MRI or CT can.

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Study of choice

There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, but subependymal giant cell astrocytoma can be diagnosed based on contrast enhanced MRI and CT scan.[1]

Diagnostic results

The following finding(s) on performing MRI is(are) confirmatory for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma:[1][2]

  • T1 isointense and hypointense signal enhancement
  • T2 isointense and hyperintense signal enhancement
  • Homogenous postcontrast enhancement
