Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumours (DNTs) are
benign lesions affecting young people and are associated with
epilepsy. There have been described more than 300 cases in
the literature and the clinical, pathological and radiological
findings are well known. Recent advances in neuroimaging
allow the acquisition of cerebral microcirculation parameters
by perfusion weighted imaging, giving additional diagnostic
information improving the diagnostic accuracy. The aim of
this study is to show the perfusion sensitive contrast-enhanced
magnetic resonance imaging findings of a case of DNT as an
additional neuroradiological finding. Further investigation of
microcirculation parameters may be helpful to establish the
correct diagnosis of such tumours.
