Abstract:
:Eight cases are presented to summarize our experience with patients initially evaluated for the new onset of either seizure activity or focal transient neurological deficits. Each was found to have a normal computed tomographic (CT) scan with and without iodinated contrast infusion. All subsequently returned with a CT scan indicative of a glioma 2 weeks to 39 months later. The apparent reasons for the difficulty in early diagnosis of glioma in certain instances are discussed. A review of the literature with an analysis of the conglomerate data is presented. These cases probably represent a subset of gliomas undergoing anaplastic dedifferentiation from relatively benign to more malignant forms. Recommendations for clinical and radiographic follow-up are outlined.
