Intraventricular meningiomas: MR imaging and MR spectroscopic findings in two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CT, MR imaging, MR spectroscopy, and angiography were performed in two men (ages 21 and 48, respectively) with intraventricular meningioma. In both cases, CT and MR imaging showed large tumors located in the trigone of the right lateral ventricle that enhanced intensely after contrast administration. MR spectroscopy was helpful in supporting a preoperative diagnosis of meningioma in both cases.

متن کاملMR imaging- and MR spectroscopy-revealed changes in meningiomas for which embolization was performed without subsequent surgery.
We describe our experience with follow-up MR imaging and MR spectroscopy in two patients after embolization of meningiomas without subsequent surgery. In both patients there was a marked reduction in tumor size and a decrease in contrast enhancement associated with spectroscopic signs of fatty degeneration. We did not observe regrowth; however, in one patient with incomplete angiographic devasc...
متن کاملCT and MR findings of anthrax meningoencephalitis: report of two cases and review of the literature.
Anthrax meningoencephalitis is a rare complication of infection with Bacillus anthracis and generally produces a hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis. We present the CT and MR imaging findings in two patients demonstrating subarachnoid, intracerebral, and intraventricular hemorrhage with leptomeningeal enhancement.
متن کاملMultiple pulmonary metastases from intracranial meningioma: MR imaging findings (case report).
Extracranial metastases from meningioma are very rare and among those the lungs are the most common metastatic site. In the literature, pulmonary metastases of meningiomas have been emphasized on their rarity, non-specific imaging findings, and cytologic features. Some definitive MR imaging features of intracranial meningiomas have been described. However, MR imaging findings of the lung metast...
متن کاملHigh-resolution MR imaging of juxtasellar meningiomas with CT and angiographic correlation.
The purpose of this study was to compare the relative merits of MR imaging, CT, and angiography in the preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up of patients with juxtasellar meningiomas. High-resolution MR studies in nine patients with juxtasellar meningiomas were evaluated and compared with CT and angiography. The techniques were compared for the evaluation of suprasellar, parasellar...
