Tumoren des Kleinhirnbrückenwinkels

Zusammenfassung

Die besondere Herausforderung in der Diagnostik von Tumoren des Kleinhirnbrückenwinkels liegt in den möglichen Differenzialdiagnosen und deren Therapierelevanz. Während die Unterteilung zwischen kontrastmittelaufnehmenden und nicht kontrastmittelaufnehmenden Läsionen eine erste diagnostische Differenzierung erlaubt, spielt insbesondere die MRT mit ihren quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden der Volumetrie, Diffusionsbildgebung, Perfusion und Spektroskopie bei der Diagnosefindung und Therapieplanung eine zentrale Rolle.

Abstract

The diagnostic imaging of lesions in the cerebellopontine angle is mainly challenged by the possible differential diagnoses and their therapeutic relevance. As classification of tumors in contrast-enhancing and non-enhancing allows for a primary differentiation, MRI holds pivotal role in diagnosis and therapy planning on the basis of its quantitative and qualitative methods as volumetry, diffusion weighted imaging, perfusion imaging and spectroscopy.
