| Popis: | Gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging plays an essential role in the detection, characterization, and staging of intracranial neoplasms and vascular abnormalities. Although Gd is helpful in a majority of situations, it can lead to diagnostic misinterpretation in the setting of active vascular extravasation. Scarce reports of intracranial extravasation of Gd are present in the literature. Here, we report the first case of surgically proven spontaneous intraparenchymal extravasation of Gd mimicking an enhancing intra-axial neoplasm in a pediatric patient. Early and accurate recognition of Gd extravasation is critical in obtaining the accurate diagnosis and triaging patients expeditiously into proper avenues of care. |
