Neurenteric cyst with alteration of signal intensity on follow-up MR images.

چکیده
SUMMARY Intracranial neurenteric cysts are uncommon and usually have low intensity on T1-weighted MR images and high intensity on T2-weighted MR images. We report a case of a neurenteric cyst that was situated in front of the medulla oblongata and the size of which increased with alteration of MR signal from high to isointense compared with that of brain on T1-weighted images obtained 33 months after the initial MR images. We think that the signal change of the cyst was probably caused by a change of protein concentration.

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...

Intracranial neurenteric cysts are relatively rare and almost exclusively benign. Here we present a case of an intracranial neurenteric cyst that was histologically benign in the first surgery and later demonstrated significant growth and intracranial metastasis with malignant transformation. A 47-year-old woman presented with a headache, which had gradually worsened over 1 year. Initial magnet...

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 r...
