Mild age-related cerebral atrophy, mild changes of cerebral small vessel disease, perivascular spaces and small fat signal intensity within the falx.

Case Discussion

Choroid plexus lesions are choroid plexus xanthogranulomas. Its an incidental finding and does not need any intervention or follow up.
