چکیده
SUMMARY A case of cerebellopontine angle and prepontine cistern subependymoma in a 15-year-old adolescent boy is presented with a review of the literature. Apparent diffusion coefficient values for subependymoma are reported. Differential considerations for the unusual location of this rare tumor are discussed.

We report a case of an epidermoid tumor of the right cerebellopontine angle (CPA) in which the contralateral CPA cistern showed abnormal, low signal intensity on T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR images. Diffusion-weighted images showed the epidermoid tumor of the right CPA extending to the prepontine cistern. The cause of the abnormal signal intensity was proved to be an artifactual signal loss du...

متن کاملCraniopharyngioma in the prepontine cistern.
We report a pathologically proved craniopharyngioma in the prepontine cistern. A 50-year-old woman presented with swallowing difficulty for 1 month. She underwent brain MR and CT imaging. T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images showed a large peripheral enhancing cystic mass in the prepontine cistern. Inside the lesion, high signal intensity (SI) on T1 and low SI on T...

Rathke's cleft cyst is a benign lesion of embryological origin with sellarsuprasellar localization. It is found in 12-33% of normal pituitary glands in autopsy series. Although it is mostly asymptomatic, it can cause symptoms by compressing surrounding neural and pituitary tissues. The most common symptoms are endocrine problems, visual problems and headache. Uncommonly, the lesion can present ...
