Solitary choroid plexus lipomas: CT and MR appearance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using MR imaging, the authors detected 23 cases of intracranial lipomas, among which were three cases of solitary choroid plexus lipomas. All the lipomas were located in the choroid plexus at the trigone. One of the three solitary choroid plexus lipomas was very small and could not be detected using CT. The authors believe that solitary choroid plexus lipomas are not as rare as was previously thought.

MR imaging of choroid plexus lipomas.
Pericallosal lipomas, also known as lipomas of the corpus callosum, are well described in the radiologic literature. Formerly thought to be rare congenital tumors, they have been identified with more frequency since the advent of CT and MR imaging. Pericallosal lipomas are the most common type of intracranial lipoma (1-4]. With lesser frequency, subarachnoid lipomas are noted in other locations...
متن کاملCombined choroid plexus cyst and choroid plexus lipoma in the lateral ventricle causing unilateral ventriculomegaly: a case report
Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are the most common neuroepithelial cysts, but rarely present with neurological signs or symptoms. Intracranial lipomas are generally seen at an interhemispheric location, and solitary choroid plexus lipomas (CPLs) have been reported in only a few cases. Here we report a symptomatic case of a 39-year-old woman with combined CPC and CPL on the lateral ventricle. She p...

متن کاملCT and MR of angiomatous malformations of the choroid plexus in patients with Sturge-Weber disease.
Eight patients with Sturge-Weber disease were evaluated by CT (six patients), MR (one patient), or both (one patient). CT scans of five of seven patients showed enlargement and increased enhancement of the choroid plexus on the same side as the facial and intracranial lesions. MRI showed similar findings in both patients examined. This enlargement, seen in six of eight cases of Sturge-Weber dis...

Background and Aim: Intracranial physiologic calcification is not accompanied by any evidence of disease and has no demonstrable pathological cause. It is often due to calcium deposition in the blood vessels of different structures of the brain. Computed tomography (CT) is the most sensitive means of detection of for this calcification. The aim of this study was the assessment of the intracrani...
