A–C: MR images before the second surgery demonstrating regrowth of the residual tumor just posterior to the prior resection cavity. A: The tumor is hypointense on T1-weighted images. B: The tumor is hyperintense on T2-weighted images. C: The tumor is hyperintense on sagittal FLAIR images. Arrow indicates the pre-central sulcus. D–F: MR images after the second surgery showing that the tumor has been subtotally removed. D: Axial T1-weighted image. E: Axial T2-weighted image. F: Sagittal FLAIR image. FLAIR: fluid attenuated inversion recovery, MR: magnetic resonance.
