Abstract
Germ cell tumors of the basal ganglia are rare neoplasms that usually present with hemiparesis or other neurological symptoms. MR and PET/CT with different tracers have demonstrated their usefulness for the correct assessment of disease. Crossed cerebellar diaschisis refers to a depression in metabolism of a cerebellar hemisphere as a result of contralateral supratentorial lesions. We present a case in which MR and PET/CT were crucial for the assessment of left basal ganglia germ cell tumors with the presence of crossed cerebellar diaschisis.
