Popis: Summary: This study reports the MR spectroscopic patterns of two patients with bithalamic glioma. In one patient, phosphorus ((31)P) MR spectroscopy was performed. In both patients, the proton MR spectroscopic scans showed an increased creatine-phosphocreatine peak in the tumor. In the patient who underwent (31)P-MR spectroscopy, an increased phosphocreatine peak was also observed. This group of thalamic tumors may be distinguished from other gliomas clinically, radiologically, and metabolically.
