Objective To study the MRI features of intracranial dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor(DNT). Methods 19 cases proved by pathology were retrospectively analyzed with MRI data. Results 18 lesions were single and well-demarca-ted, located mainly in the cortical to subcortical area,1 lesion located mainly in the fourth ventricle. Imaging appearances seemed to be diverse on MRI.shape more showed round or patching,All lesions mainly appeared hypo-intense or slightly hypo-intense on T1WI and hyper-intense or slightly hyper-intense on T2WI except for mixed signal intensity of hemorrhage or calcification.It was obvious that 6 lesions experienced cystic change and 5 of which had nodus in capsule wall,which appeared isointense onT1WI and isointense or slightly hyperintense on T2WI.all lesions appeared hyper-intense or slightly hyper-intense with on FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery). After injecting gadolinium,the lesions appeared to have no change (n=4),mild enhancement (n=8),obvious enhancement(n=7), nodular enhancement (n=6),intratumoral circular enhancement (n=5) 13 lesions showed no mass effect and edema,6 lesions showed slight mass effect and edema. Conclusion MRI of DNET have some characteristic imaging features,which may be posible for the diagnosis in combination with age and tumor locations .
