Early spontaneous regression of a hypothalamic/chiasmatic mass in neurofibromatosis type 1 : MR findings / G. Zuccoli, F. Ferrozzi, M. Sigorini, R. Virdis, P. Bassi, M. Bellomi. - In: EUROPEAN RADIOLOGY. - ISSN 0938-7994. - 10:7(2000), pp. 1076-1078. [10.1007/s003309900293]
Abstract:
A patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 was found to have an enhancing mass in the hypothalamus and in the anterior optic pathway. A 3-month MR study showed a reduction in the size and enhancement of the mass. At a 9-month MR follow-up the mass disappeared and ceased to enhance. This report shows the unusual behaviour of a hypothalamic/chiasmatic mass confirming that in such asymptomatic cases the conservative management can be considered the treatment of choice.
