MR imaging of intraventricular cysticercosis.

چکیده
Intraventricular cysticercosis cysts can migrate through the ventricular system and produce hydrocephalus. MR is more sensitive than CT in the detection of these cysts.

MR imaging of intracranial cysticercosis: comparison with CT and anatomopathologic features.
Eight patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with CT and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Two cysts were shown better with MR than with CT. A conspicuous, high-intensity mural nodule containing the scolex allowed specific identification of intraventricular and parenchymal cysticerci. CT evidence of calcification and metrizamide enhancement in the nodule was also noted in one case. Racemo...
متن کاملDiagnosis of intraventricular cysticercosis by magnetic resonance imaging: improved detection with three-dimensional spoiled gradient recalled echo sequences.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is caused when the cysticercus larvae of Taenia solium infect the central nervous system. The larvae usually land in the parenchymal tissue, but quite rarely can lodge in the ventricles and cisterns of the brain. Unlike parenchymal NCC, it is not easy to demonstrate the cysticercus cysts within the cerebrospinal fluid spaces. Computed tomography and even conventional MR...
متن کاملHigh-signal intraventricular cysticercosis on T1-weighted MR imaging.
A previously healthy 24-year-old woman was found disoriented but responsive to pain , without decorticate or rigid posturing. Evidence for Parinaud syndrome (gaze paresis, hydrocephalus, and poorly reactive and dilated pupils) was present. A CT scan performed at the time (Fig. 1 A) showed marked hydrocephalus, with the fourth ventricle appearing normal. A small focus of calcium was present in t...
متن کاملIntraventricular meningiomas: MR imaging and MR spectroscopic findings in two cases.
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 کاملCT Ventriculography for diagnosis of occult ventricular cysticerci
BACKGROUND Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system (CNS). Intraventricular lesions are seen in 7-20% of CNS cysticercosis. Intraventricular lesions can be missed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as they are typically isodense/isointense to the cerebrospinal fluid. We present our experience with CT ventriculography t...
