Fourth Ventricle Neurenteric Cyst Mimicking Hemangioblastoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report presents a case of fourth ventricle neurenteric cyst (NE cyst) mimicking hemangioblastoma, which developed in a 50-year-old woman. A tiny enhancing mural portion of the fourth ventricle in MRI suggested that the cyst was hemangioblastoma, but pathological evidence showed that the cyst was in fact NE cyst in the fourth ventricle. In order to make proper decision on to what extent of surgical resection should be done, considering every possibility in differential diagnosis might be helpful. This case reports an unusual pathology in 4th ventricle, considering the patient's age, and demonstrates that a rarer disease may share radiological features of a common disease.

mal cells and a subependymal plate composed of glial cells. Accordingly, these layers give rise to ependymomas, subependymomas, and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (1). Hemangioblastomas are benign vascular tumors with an uncertain origin. They account for 12% of all intracranial tumors, and are a component of the von Hippel-Lindau syndrome in 30% of cases (2, 3). Hemangioblastomas usually...
