Radiology Cases of Anaplastic Astrocytoma Supratentorial
Three contiguous axial FLAIR MRI images (above left, above right, below left) show a high signal intensity infiltrative mass without much mass effect centered in the left frontal lobe which crosses the corpus callosum into the right front lobe and right central white matter. Axial T1 MRI with contrast of the brain (below right) shows the mass to have faint enhancement.
