Differentiation of intracranial Rosai‐Dorfman histiocytosis from meningioma using MR perfusion

Abstract

Abstract Intracranial Rosai‐Dorfman disease may be indistinguishable from meningioma. This distinction is essential, as they are treated very differently. We present two cases where perfusion imaging helped make this distinction, allowing one to be treated successfully without craniotomy. Perfusion imaging may be a powerful adjunct in cases where RDD mimics meningioma.
