ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a condition called Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumor (MVNT), which is a type of benign (non-cancerous) brain tumor. Researchers want to learn more about how to identify MVNT using advanced imaging techniques, especially when it can be confused with other similar conditions. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and anyone aged 18 or older who has had an MRI that suggests they might have MVNT could be eligible. To qualify, participants need to meet certain criteria based on their MRI results, such as having a specific appearance of the tumor.

If you decide to participate in this study, you will undergo imaging tests that can help doctors understand your condition better. It's important to know that pregnant or breastfeeding women and those with certain legal protections cannot join this trial. Participants will be fully informed about the study and must give their consent before taking part. This research aims to improve the diagnosis and understanding of MVNT, potentially leading to better care for patients with this condition.
