Normal variant striate calcification perpendicular to the lateral ventricles

bilateral choroid plexus papilloma of lateral ventricles

choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial tumors, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial tumors in adults. however, they are relatively more common in children and constitute 1.5 to 4% of childhood intracranial tumors. in children, choroid plexus papillomas are predominately located in the lateral ventricles, followed by the forth and third ventricles and, rarely, in the cerebell...

A Large Solitary Hemangioblastoma of the Lateral Ventricles: A Case Report and Literature Review

Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...

Planar measurements of foetal lateral ventricles.

To compare the linear dimensions (width) of the foetal atrium and occipital horns to their areas, 31 foetuses (15-24 weeks, C-R 12.5-23.5 mm) from spontaneous abortions were evaluated. Images of the axial sections of the brains were transferred to computer and Scion for Windows 98 software was used for image analysis. 11 brains appeared normal and 20 were abnormal (leukomalacia in 9 cases, peri...

Segmentation of Lateral Ventricles for Monitoring of Patient’s Status with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Assessment of brain ventricular size is an important factor in both the diagnosis and post-surgical evaluation of patients that may respond to shunt therapy for suspected cases of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). A lack of currently accepted and standardized criteria for diagnosing and classifying NPH patients precludes objective identification. Currently, three clinical soft qualifiers are...
