Imaging of Intracranial Hemorrhage

Intracranial hemorrhage is common and is caused by diverse pathology, including trauma, hypertension, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hemorrhagic conversion of ischemic infarction, cerebral aneurysms, cerebral arteriovenous malformations, dural arteriovenous fistula, vasculitis, and venous sinus thrombosis, among other causes. Neuroimaging is essential for the treating physician to identify the ca...

Primary intracranial choriocarcinoma: MR imaging findings.

PICCC is the rarest, most malignant primary intracranial GCT. The purpose of this study was to describe and characterize the MR imaging findings in a series of 7 patients (6 males and 1 female; mean age, 11.9 years) with pathologically proved PICCC in our institution from 2004 to 2009. All tumors were located within the pineal (n = 6) or suprasellar (n = 1) regions. On T2-weighted MR imaging, t...

Intracranial neurenteric cysts: imaging and pathology spectrum.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial neurenteric (NE) cysts are rare congenital lesions that may be mistaken for other, more common non-neoplastic cysts as well as cystic neoplasms. We delineate the imaging spectrum, pathologic findings, and differential diagnosis of NE cysts. METHODS History, imaging, surgical and pathologic findings were analyzed retrospectively in 18 patients with intracran...
