[Radiological diagnosis of the lateral ventricle tumor (author's transl)]. 1977

K Nakajima, and H Watanabe, and H Chigasaki, and S Ishii

The radiological characteristics of intraventricular tumors were studied with special reference to differential diagnosis from paraventricular tumors by careful analysis of seven cases intraventricular tumors and five cases paraventricular tumors. As, in the radiological term, intraventricular tumors have been dividied into two groups according to their location by Bernasconi et al., seven cases intraventricular tumors reported in this paper were also divided into two groups; 1) 2 cases ependymom occupying the frontal horn and the body of lateral ventricle, 2) 4 cases meningioma and one plexus papilloma occupying the trigone and the adjucent regions. In case of tumors belonged to group 1, the filling defect showing the circumference of tumors and the associated unilateral hydrocephalus were characteristic findings on the ventriculogram, while the depression of ventricular wall was observed in paraventricular tumors. Angiographic characteristics in group 1 tumors were the splay of subependymal veins of the medial group from those of lateral group and the increased density of deep veins due to raised circulation, and these findings demonstrated in all cases of ependymoma reported here. On the other hand, in all meningiomas belonged to group 2, the hypertrophia of choridal arteries was noticed in the angiogram. Moreover, the anterior choroidal artery was shown to be divided into two branches at its plexal segments, and the tumor stain at the trigone always lied between these two branches. We named this dissociation of these two plexal branches due to tumor as "flare sing". This is considered to be specific finding for a trigone meningioma, and this "flare sing" was observed in all of our 4 cases meningioma. In two cases out of four, the inferior ventricular vein was displaced anteriorly delineating the anterior margin of the tumor. This again is considered as a sign indicating the tumor occupying the trigone and adjacent regions.

D008579 Meningioma A relatively common neoplasm of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and SPINAL CANAL.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009837 Oligodendroglioma A relatively slow-growing glioma that is derived from oligodendrocytes and tends to occur in the cerebral hemispheres, thalamus, or lateral ventricle. They may present at any age, but are most frequent in the third to fifth decades, with an earlier incidence peak in the first decade. Histologically, these tumors are encapsulated, relatively avascular, and tend to form cysts and microcalcifications. Neoplastic cells tend to have small round nuclei surrounded by unstained nuclei. The tumors may vary from well-differentiated to highly anaplastic forms.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D004806 Ependymoma Glioma derived from EPENDYMOGLIAL CELLS that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.
