Neuroradiologic-pathologic correlation in a neurenteric cyst of the clivus.

چکیده
A 28-year-old woman presented with left-sided frontotemporal headache lasting 6 wk. Head CT and MR imaging revealed a clival mass, which was interpreted as a chondrosarcoma. The lesion was removed at endoscopic endonasal surgery; histologic and immunohistochemical findings proved it to be neurenteric cyst. On CT scans, the lesion was lytic, with an intact cortex; it was uniformly hyperintense relative to gray matter on T1-weighted MR images and iso- to hypointense relative to CSF on T2-weighted MR images.

Neurenteric cyst in the cerebellopontine angle with xanthogranulomatous changes: serial MR findings with pathologic correlation.
We report serial MR findings in a middle-aged woman with a neurenteric cyst involving the cerebellopontine angle cistern with xanthogranulomatous changes. On the initial gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MR images, the solid portion of the lesion had homogeneously strong enhancement. Follow-up MR images obtained 6 months later showed that the mass had increased in size; however, the solid portion...

In this report we present the unique case of a supratentorial neurenteric cyst that is contained entirely within the brain parenchyma. METHODS A patient presented with an intraparenchymal cystic lesion that was subsequently identified as a neurenteric cyst. This lesion...
متن کاملNeurenteric Cyst or Neuroendodermal Cyst? Immunohistochemical Study and Pathogenesis.
BACKGROUND Neurenteric cysts are rare central nervous system lesions derived from an endodermal origin. There is no consensus concerning pathogenesis because of the paucity of occurrences. We report an immunohistochemical study of 10 cases with neurenteric cysts and postulate its pathogenesis. METHODS Ten patients underwent surgical treatment for neurenteric cysts from 1995 to 2015. We retros...
