Abstract

Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumors (MVNT) are a rare benign, mixed glial neuronal lesion usually involving the supra tentorial brain. It is mostly seen in adults and often associated with seizures.[1-3] Similar multinodular lesions in the infratentorial brain have been described in a few studies. They are classified as either Infratentorial MVNT or MVNT-PLUS (Posterior Fossa Lesion of Unknown Significance).[4,5] Due to the absence of malignancy criteria and the lack of evolutivity on follow-up MRIs, it is considered to be a “leave me-alone” lesion. The diagnosis of MVNT is based on the history with characteristic location and appearance, with lack of progressivity. Here, we report a case of a posterior fossa lesion showing striking similarity to Supratentorial MVNT in a young adult patient.
