Patient Data
Age: Adult
From the case:
Choroid plexus papilloma
Loading images...
Coronal T1 C+
A vividly but heterogeneously enhancing mass in the right side of the 4th ventricle is associated with significant surrounding edema and mass effect. There is ventricular enlargement consistent with non-communicating hydrocephalus.
Case Discussion
The patient went on to have a resection which confirmed a final histological diagnosis of choroid plexus papilloma.
Discussion
The heterogeneous enhancement and very rounded appearance of this lesion are not typical for a choroid plexus papilloma, and just demonstrates the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis in some cases.
