Abstract: Differentiating brain tumors from nonneoplastic lesions using conventional MRI may be challenging. Clinical symptoms often remain unspecific, and imaging findings from MRI may be inconclusive. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman in whom an MRI suggested a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. On the other hand, additional atypical MRI findings raised doubts regarding the initial diagnosis. Given the need for a diagnostic procedure with higher sensitivity and specificity for neoplastic tissue, PET with the radiolabeled somatostatin receptor ligand DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTA-d-Phe1-Tyr3-octreotate) was performed. DOTATATE PET facilitated the diagnosis of a falcine meningioma consistent with its value for the differential diagnosis of meningioma.
