Abstract

T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign is a specific imaging finding of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytomas. Histologically, a hypointense area on FLAIR images indicates the presence of microcysts. Here we report a case of IDH-mutant astrocytoma that shrunk spontaneously.
