Sažetak
A 24-year-old woman presented with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. Computed tomography scanning showed a hypodense cerebellar mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large lesion within the left cerebellar hemisphere and vermis that reduced the fourth ventricle and compressed the aqueduct with subsequent dilatation of the ventricular system. The case is described because of the rare occurrence of Lhermitte-Duclos disease in a central location. The preoperative diagnosis was verified by histologic findings obtained upon subtotal resection of the lesion. MRI provides an opportunity to improve the surgical approach and to evaluate long-term follow-up, thus reducing the probability for recurrence and complications. Therefore, MRI is considered the imaging method of choice to make the diagnosis of Lhermitte-Duclos disease.
