Info

Choroid plexus lesions in the trigone bilaterally. These lesions are close to CSF on T1 & T2-weighted images but don’t attenuate completely on FLAIR, high signal on DWI with intermediate ADC signal and don’t enhance. Enlarged sella/empty sella.

Case Discussion

CT & MRI findings are suggestive of bilateral choroid plexus xanthogranulomas. Its an asymptomatic incidental finding. The neurological evaluation for the empty sella/enlarged sella was also unremarkable.
