چکیده
Figure 1. Axial MRI T2-weighted (A) and coronal FLAIR (B) sequences reveal a slightly hyperintense, well-defined hypothalamic/third ventricular tumor (arrows), with perilesional vasogenic edema (arrowheads). C: Axial MRI T1-weighted sequence reveals a predominantly isointense tumor (arrow). D: Gadolinium-enhanced sagittal MRI T1-weighted sequence reveals the tumor with uniform contrast enhancement (arrow). REFERENCES

Chordoid Glioma with Intraventricular Dissemination: A Case Report with Perfusion MR Imaging Features
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 ventricle...
متن کاملAn incidentally detected third ventricle chordoid glioma.
Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade tumor located in the third ventricle-hypothalamic region. Since its first report, 37 cases have been described in the literature. We report on an additional case that we considered significant because of its incidental detection and its uneventful surgical removal.

Chordoid glioma is a rare benign neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis occurring in the third ventricle/ /suprasellar region. Recently, data have emerged suggesting that chordoid glioma is a variant of ependymoma related to a specialised ependyma of the subcommisural organ or the lamina terminalis area. In this study, we report clinicopathological and ultrastructural findings in two chordoid gliom...

Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle is a rare and challenging tumor to surgery because of its unique anatomical location and its close juxtaposition to the neurovascular structures and hypothalamus. The authors report a case of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle in a 43-year-old woman, who presented with headache and somnolence. The tumor was approached by endoscopic transnasal technique...

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...
