Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Epileptic seizures are common in patients with gliomas, and their control represents an important aspect of treatment. The oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), produced by mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), is thought to be associated with seizures due to its structural similarity to the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. Using 3T MR spectroscopy (MRS), the authors investigated whether 2HG...
