The interventricular extension of choroid plexus papillomas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four cases of choroid plexus papilloma extending through the foramen of Monro are presented. All four patients were evaluated by contrast-enhanced CT and two of these were also evaluated by neurosonography. No other intraventricular tumor commonly extends through a ventricular outlet. The radiographic demonstration of this extension of an intraventricular mass through the foramen of Monro, cerebral aqueduct, or foramen of Luschka or Magendie represents an ancillary diagnostic sign of choroid plexus papilloma.

Malignant progression in choroid plexus papillomas.
OBJECT Malignant progression of choroid plexus papillomas has been occasionally reported, but this issue has not yet been systematically addressed. METHODS Frequency and extent of malignant progression were examined in a retrospective series of 124 primary choroid plexus papillomas using uniform histological criteria. RESULTS After gross-total resection and a mean follow-up period of 59 mon...
متن کاملChoroid Plexus Neoplasms: Toward a Distinction between Carcinoma and Papilloma Using Arterial Spin-Labeling.
Pediatric choroid plexus papillomas and carcinomas are highly vascularized neoplasms, which are difficult to distinguish with conventional imaging. We aimed to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of PWI, by using both pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling and DSC-PWI. We reviewed the PWI of 13 children with choroid plexus neoplasms (7 papillomas and 6 carcinomas). We quantified CBF, relative CBF,...

متن کاملChoroid plexus papillomas of the foramen of Luschka: MR appearance.
Choroid plexus papillomas are rare intracranial neoplasms that are most commonly found in the trigone of the lateral ventricles or in the fourth ventricle. Rare cases of extraventricular choroid plexus papillomas have been reported within the cerebellopontine (CP) angle cistern [1-6]. Such cases have been described as either extending from the fourth ventricle via the foramen of Luschka or aris...
متن کاملTWIST-1 is overexpressed in neoplastic choroid plexus epithelial cells and promotes proliferation and invasion.
The pathogenesis of choroid plexus papillomas, intraventricular papillary neoplasms most often occurring sporadically in children and young adults, remains poorly understood. To identify pathways operative in the development of choroid plexus papillomas, gene expression profiles obtained from laser-microdissected human choroid plexus papilloma cells (n = 7) were compared with that of normal cho...
