The influence of carmustine wafer implantation on tumor bed cysts and peritumoral brain edema

Highlights • We report changes in imaging findings after carmustine wafer implantation for glioma. • We found 25% of patients exhibited enlargement of the tumor bed cyst by greater than 200%. • The enlargement occurred especially in patients without a ventricular opening. • We noted marked perifocal...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We report changes in imaging findings after carmustine wafer implantation for glioma. • We found 25% of patients exhibited enlargement of the tumor bed cyst by greater than 200%. • The enlargement occurred especially in patients without a ventricular opening. • We noted marked perifocal edema in patients with anaplastic oligodendroglioma.
