Melanocytoma of the cavernous sinus: CT and MR findings.
We present the CT, MR angiographic, and histologic findings of a rare primary meningeal melanocytoma of the cavernous sinus. The primary differential diagnosis is between a melanin-containing tumor and an extraaxial cavernous angioma. Radiologic imaging cannot distinguish between the less aggressive primary meningeal melanocytoma and the more aggressive meningeal melanoma.
متن کاملMR imaging of the cranial meninges with emphasis on contrast enhancement and meningeal carcinomatosis.
MR imaging was used to investigate normal and abnormal meningeal enhancement, with an emphasis on meningeal carcinomatosis. Three groups of patients were studied on a 1.5-T system. In group 1, the normal meninges were examined in 20 patients and were found to show fine linear enhancement in short segments, especially in a parasagittal distribution. In group 2, all gadolinium-enhanced head scans...
متن کاملDifferentiation between meningeal fibrosis and chronic subdural hematoma after ventricular shunting: value of enhanced CT and MR scans.
Unenhanced CT in four patients with long-standing ventricular shunts demonstrated bilateral low-density extraaxial collections that were indistinguishable from chronic subdural hematomas. After administration of contrast material, however, there was marked enhancement of the collections as well as prominent paratentorial and parafalcial enhancement. MR imaging, performed in three patients, demo...
متن کاملIntracranial meningeal hemangiopericytomas in children and adolescents: CT and MR imaging findings.
Intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytomas in children and adolescents are prone to bleeding during surgery. CT and MR imaging may serve a role in preoperative diagnosis. The purpose of this report was to describe the radiologic findings in 9 pathologically proved cases of intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytomas in children and adolescents. The average duration of symptoms was short (mean, 4...
متن کاملCT and MR of meningeal melanocytoma.
The majority of melanotic neoplasms of the CNS are metastatic in origin. Rarely, a primary CNS melanoma arises from the leptomeninges, which in certain regions normally contain melanocytic cells [1]. These primary neoplasms are usually histologically and clinically malignant [2]. The meningeal melanocytoma is at the benign end of the spectrum of primary melanotic neoplasms and is less common th...
