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...
متن کاملSurgery at the Crossroads: Craniocervical Neoplasms
Tumors of the craniovertebral junction present with a wide constellation of neurological signs and symptoms, and false localizing signs are numerous. Precipitous decline in function can occur with malignant growth, and the potential for rapid progression to irreversible myelopathy demands early recognition and treatment (29, 38, 47, 56, 65). There is no single symptom or neurological finding pa...
متن کاملNeuroradiologic-pathologic correlation in a neurenteric cyst of the clivus.
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...
