Case ReportHistory
Exam
Prior Study
Findings
CT Head pre contrast
There is subtle CT hyperdensity within the anterodorsal aspect of a left paraventricular parenchymal mass lesion consistent with prior tumoral hemorrhage. The border between hemorrhage and tumoral mass is indistinct. The age of the hemorrhage is likely weeks old as it nearly reaches the CT density of the tumor itself.
There is a small volume of residual blood found in the left occipital horn, and only a trace of blood in the right occipital horn.
The hemorrhagic component combined with the underlying tumor causes local mass effect with nearly complete effacement of the left frontal horn.
There is age-related generalized ventriculomegaly, and there is sulcal dilatation mainly in the frontal and anterior temporal regions.
Impression
2. The mass causes only local mass-effects with effacement of the left frontal horn but not the left cerebral aqueduct.
3. There is age-related ex vacuo ventriculomegaly and frontotemporal atrophic changes.
