Case number 3. A 20 years old male patient presenting with headache and left side hemiparesis. Pathologically proven glioblastoma, high grade. a Axial T1 WI with contrast revealing a right parieto-occipital mixed solid and cystic SOL with faint heterogeneous post contrast enhancement surrounded by grade I vasogenic edema. b Coronal T1 WI with 3D reconstruction of the CST tracts. Pattern VI displacement, splaying, and fiber attenuation of the right CST related to the tumor compared to intact left CST. c Axial T1 WI with 3D reconstruction of the SLF. Pattern II antero-lateral displacement and mild decreased FA of the right SLF. Axial T1 WI with 3D reconstruction of d the corpus callosum tracts, e the cingulum tracts, and f the ILF tracts revealing pattern II displacement and splaying of CC shows mild decreased FA and mild increased ADC. Pattern III fibers attenuation of right cingulum and right ILF showing mild decreased FA and mild increased ADC
