MRI findings for the pretreatment diagnosis of small Meckel’s cave tumors: comparison of meningiomas and schwannomas
MRI features such as a prominent dural tail appearance, the presence of fewer cystic components, and less masticatory muscle atrophy may aid in differentiating meningiomas from schwannomas less than 3 cm in size. The ADC and DWI parameters provided additional critical insights, particularly for VSMCTs, thus facilitating preoperative diagnoses.
