Chordoid Glioma with Intraventricular Dissemination: A Case Report with Perfusion MR Imaging Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chordoid glioma is a rare low grade tumor typically located in the third ventricle. Although a chordoid glioma can arise from ventricle with tumor cells having features of ependymal differentiation, intraventricular dissemination has not been reported. Here we report a case of a patient with third ventricular chordoid glioma and intraventricular dissemination in the lateral and fourth ventricles. We described the perfusion MR imaging features of our case different from a previous report.

Chordoid glioma: a neoplasm unique to the hypothalamus and anterior third ventricle.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chordoid glioma is a new clinicopathologic entity that occurs in the region of the hypothalamus/anterior third ventricle. The aims of this study were to describe the characteristic radiographic features of chordoid glioma, identify specific imaging features that may enable differentiation of chordoid glioma from other suprasellar tumors, and increase neuroradiologists' aw...

A 50-year-old man with progressive headache and memory impairment was found to have a mass in the anterior third ventricle. Computed Tomography (CT) of the brain showed a hyperdense ovoidshaped lesion in the suprasellar-hypothalamic region. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed an intensely enhancing mass with an eccentric cyst in the anterior third ventricle near midline. Total resection w...

Chordoid glioma is a rare tumor exhibiting both glial and chordoid features. This entity is generally considered to occur exclusively in the region of the third ventricle, however, that arising in the lateral ventricle is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of lateral ventricular chordoid glioma in a pediatric patient. Additionally, relevant literatures were reviewed. An intracranial space...
متن کاملThe role of relative cerebral blood volume obtained from Perfusion Weighted Imaging-MRI in glioma tumor grading before surgery
Introduction: Glioma is the most common type of brain malignancy among adults. Treatment for this type of tumor involves surgery, radiotherapy, and in higher grades, including chemotherapy. The precise grading of the tumor is critical for treatment planning and prognosis determining. Considering the possibility of problems such as errors in tissue sampling during surgery, as we...
متن کاملA Large Solitary Hemangioblastoma of the Lateral Ventricles: A Case Report and Literature Review
Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...
