Abstract
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), also known as dysplastic gangliocytoma, is a rare cerebellar lesion. It has long been regarded as avascular. We report two patients with surgically proven LDD in whom contrast enhancement was observed on MRI. Neuropathological examination revealed proliferation of veins. We suggest that peripheral enhancement of LDD probably reflects vascular proliferation of the cerebellar venous draining system, and should be considered part of the imaging features of LDD.Entities:
