Figure 1 Preoperative neuroimaging findings. (A–C) T1WI shows mixed high and low signals, while T2WI and T2-FLAIR exhibit high signal intensity. (D, E), Contrast-enhanced scans reveal a ring-shaped, uneven enhancement of the lesion, with no significant enhancement in the surrounding edema. (F) MRV shows no obvious abnormalities. (G) CT shows mixed hypodense and hyperdense lesions. (H) PET-CT reveals mildly increased FDG uptake with an SUVmax of approximately 4.0 (red arrow). (I) MRS indicates a significant reduction in NAA at the lesion site, suggesting neuronal loss, with a mild increase in choline.
