New Mystery Case! A 29-year-old man with dizziness and headache

A 29-year-old man presented with dizziness and headache for two months. MRI revealed a mass in the lateral ventricle with attachment to the septum pellucidum. MRS (TR 1600 ms, TE 135 ms) showed high glycine, decreased N-acetylaspartate, and increased choline peaks.

Post answers by February 14. Select answers will be published with the article
