MRS with Cho/Cr, mI/Cr and NAA/Cr ratios, could be more sensitive than MRI and could, in some cases, be predictive of worsening in gliomatosis follow-up. These spectroscopic changes occurred well before clinical deterioration. There is a large variability, but repetition and modelisation of spectroscopic measurements during longitudinal follow-up could allow us to diminish it and to improve gliomatosis prognostic evaluation.
