Info
Right fronto-temporo-parietal alteration of signal involving grey and white matter regions with mass effect seen as midline shift, compression of right lateral ventricle and subfalcine herniation. It shows heterogeneous low signal on T1 and high signal on T2. Areas of diffusion restriction are noted. MR spectroscopy shows prominent Choline peak.
