Infratentorial Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumor (MVNT) or Multinodular and Vacuolating Posterior Fossa Lesions of Unknown Significance (MV-PLUS)? Clinico-radiological findings from two cases.

Abstract

Infratentorial multinodular lesions resembling Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumor of the cerebrum (MVNT) have been indicated in literature with two different names reflecting alternative perspectives: "Multinodular and Vacuolating Posterior Fossa Lesions of Unknown Significance (MV-PLUS)", suggesting that these lesions may belong to a new entity, and "MVNT of the brain", assuming that they actually correspond to infratentorial MVNT. Due to the limited number of cases reported and the absence of histopathological data, it is presently uncertain which denomination should be used.
