Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Adult brainstem gliomas (BSGs) are rare tumors of the CNS that are poorly understood. Upregulation of the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) in the tumor indicates the mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), which can be detected by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Although histological examination is required for the definitive diagnosis of BSG, 2HG-optimized MRS (2HG-MRS) may be...
