Leptomeningeal Dissemination of Intraventricular Rhabdoid Meningioma: Imaging Findings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 20-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a 1-year history of headache. The patient's systemic-neurological examination and laboratory findings were normal. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Imaging findings showed calcified intraventricular mass and subependymal and gyral nodular lesions. There was a slight increase in ventricular volume. Surgical treatment was performed. Pathological specimens revealed the diagnosis of rhabdoid meningioma. Leptomeningeal dissemination refers to diffuse seeding of the leptomeninges by tumor metastases. To our knowledge, leptomeningeal dissemination of intraventricular rhabdoid meningioma is very rare in the literature. We aimed to discuss imaging findings and differential diagnosis of leptomeningeal dissemination of rhabdoid meningioma.

متن کاملMultiple High Grade Rhabdoid Papillary Meningiomas Mimicking Choroid Plexus Carcinoma: A Case Report
Rhabdoid papillary meningioma is an uncommon aggressive variant of meningioma which has the potential to metastasize and spread throughout the brain and even out of the cranium. Herein, we present recurrence of the brain tumor in a 26-year-old woman. The patient had history of the surgery for two lesions in the right temporal lobe and the left cerebellopontine angle. Imaging showed three lesion...

BACKGROUND It is extremely rare to see cerebrospinal fluid dissemination of intraventricular meningioma, particularly with the development of acute, progressive brainstem/cerebellar dysfunction with an absence of mass formation in the corresponding anatomical sites. CASE PRESENTATION An 81-year-old man was admitted because of double vision, right facial nerve palsy and truncal ataxia. Brain m...

Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma (TSM) is one of the most challenging operations among neurosurgeons. Many approaches have been proposed in the attempt of total removal of the tumor. Rhabdoid meningioma is a rare subtype of meningiomas accounting for 2-3% of all intra-cranial meningiomas, an aggressive tumor classified as World Health Organization (WHO) grade III; it occurs mainly in the early chil...
