Intraventricular cryptococcal cysts.

چکیده
The case of a 55-year-old immunocompetent woman with central nervous system cryptococcosis and multiple intraventricular cysts is presented. The cysts did not enhance on MR and had signal characteristics similar to cerebrospinal fluid on T1- and T2-weighted images; their intensity was lower than cerebrospinal fluid on proton density-weighted images.

Intraventricular cryptococcal granuloma.
A case is reported of a cryptococcal granuloma occurring within the lateral ventricle. The findings on angiography and brain-scanning led to a preoperative diagnosis of intraventricular meningioma. There are no previous reports of an isotope brain-scan in this condition and angiography usually shows an avascular swelling.
متن کاملMR imaging of neurocysticercosis.
Twenty-six patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with MR imaging to correlate their clinical presentation with the location and appearance of their neurocysticercosis lesions. Intraventricular cysts were present in 14 patients (54%), parenchymal cysts were present in 18 (69%), and intraventricular together with parenchymal cysts were present in six (23%). Intraventricular cysts were det...
متن کاملMultiple Intraventricular Neurocysticercal Cysts Treated with Endoscopy without Antiparasitic Therapy
Neurocysticercosis is of emerging importance in the United States because of immigration from disease-endemic regions of Latin America. 1 Intraventricular neurocysticercal cysts are probably more frequent than previously thought and usually occur as single cysts in the fourth ventricle or as multiple cysts that frequently coexist with parenchymal and sub-arachnoid cysts. 2 However, multiple int...
متن کاملMR imaging of intraventricular cysticercosis.
Intraventricular cysticercosis cysts can migrate through the ventricular system and produce hydrocephalus. MR is more sensitive than CT in the detection of these cysts.
متن کاملImproved detection of intraventricular cysticercal cysts with the use of three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state MR sequences.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Before the advent of MR imaging, intraventricular cysts were difficult to diagnose noninvasively. Among the invasive procedures used were contrast ventriculography and CT ventriculography. MR imaging, with its multiplanar imaging capabilities, excellent depiction of tissue contrast, and versatile parameters, is an important tool in the assessment of intraventricular cysti...
