Case Report: CT and MRI findings in Lhermitte- Duclos disease
Abstract
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar lesion of uncertain origin. It is linked to an autosomal- dominant phakomatosis known as Cowden's disease in 40% of patients. The MRI features of LDD are almost unique and can be considered diagnostic. We report on a patient who presented with the typical MRI features of the above disease, and discuss the imaging features, pathology and genetics.
