Diffusely infiltrating astrocytomas often present diagnostic difficulties. We herein correlate the radiologic and postmortem findings of a diffuse astrocytoma and conclude that recognition of abnormal bilateral and fairly symmetric enlargement and increased density of normal structures in CT scans may lead to an antemortem diagnosis of the tumor.
