MRI of intracranial intraventricular lesions

The MRI appearance of intraventricular neoplasms is often nonspecific, however knowledge of patient age and tumor location facilitates the formulation of a differential diagnosis. Imaging and pertinent clinical features of the following intraventricular neoplasms are reviewed: ependymoma, subependym...

Description
Summary:The MRI appearance of intraventricular neoplasms is often nonspecific, however knowledge of patient age and tumor location facilitates the formulation of a differential diagnosis. Imaging and pertinent clinical features of the following intraventricular neoplasms are reviewed: ependymoma, subependymoma, central neurocytoma, subependymal giant cell tumor, choroid plexus tumors, medulloblastoma, meningioma, chordoid glioma, rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor, central nervous system lymphoma, and metastasis. •Differential diagnosis for mass in the atria of the lateral ventricles in adults includes meningioma and metastasis.•Differential diagnosis for mass in the atria of the lateral ventricle in pediatric patients includes choroid plexus tumos.•Differential diagnosis for mass in the anterior lateral ventricle includes central neurocytoma in adults.•Differential diagnosis for mass in the anterior lateral ventricle includes subependymal giant cell tumor in children.•Masses in the anterior third ventricle include colloid cyst and chordoid glioma.•Adult fourth ventricle mass includes subependymoma, rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor, choroid plexus tumor, and ependymoma.•Pediatric fourth ventricle masses include ependymoma and medulloblastoma.•CNS lymphoma has subependymal and periventricular predilection.
