A nodule is located at the foramen of Monro which is well-defined and homogeneously isodense to brain and has a maximal diameter of 1.2 cm measured. There is no evidence of acute haemorrhage or calcification within this lesion. No enhancement. Asymmetry of the lateral ventricles is within normal limits. There is no evidence of uncal or tonsillar herniation.
