INTRAVENTRICULAR MENINGEAL HEMANGIOPERICYTOMA CT DIAGNOSIS.
Keywords:
Meningeal, hemangiopericytoma, CT scanAbstract
A report case of hemangiopericytoma detected by CT scan in a 59-year old patient was performed. The tumor was partly in left posterior horn of the lateral ventricle and partly in the deep left parietal lobe. The tumor was lobulated and solid. The density was isodensity with central low density. The enhancement was dense at the isodensity area. The left choroidal vessel at the medial part of the mass, facing the posterior horn was dilated. There was a moderate degree of peritumoral white matter edema. Meningeal hemangiopericytoma should be kept in mind if the appearance of the CT scanwas similar to this case and the pathological report was that of meningioma. More aggressive treatment and follow up should be offered to the patient.
