Head MRI and CT images prior to the first surgery. a-b A quasi-circular space-occupying lesion was found with long T1-weighted and T2-weighted signal shadows in the right temporal lobe and was surrounded by large patches of edema. c Enhanced T1-weighted FLAIR signal were observed in the center of lesion. d-e The signal intensity of the ring wall was increased after enhancement. f CT scan showed a circular space-occupying lesion with slightly high density ring wall and low density shadows in the right temporal lobe that was surrounded by large patches of edema. g MRS showed an elevated lactic acid peak, and low NAA, choline, and creatine peaks
