Flannigan, 3 Jay Tsuruda 2 William G. radley2 MR imaging and CT (with and without ontrast enhanement) were performed in 20 patients with an established or linially suspeted diagnosis of raniopharyngioma. Fifteen had biopsy-proven raniopharyngioma and five had presumed raniopharyngioma based on linial and CT findings. In two ases MR was superior to ontrastenhaned CT in demonstrating the tumor. variable appearane on T1-weighted MR images reflefed-the pathologi appearane of raniopharyngiomas. High intensity on T1-weighted images orresponded to hi h holesterol ontent or presene 0 met e mo 10blO. M was e preferred method in the evaluation of tumor extent, espeially i ~ t e avernous sinus and posterior lival region. CT was superior to MR in deteting the presene of ~ n, whih with the linial history orretly suggested the diagnosis of ranlop aryngloma. oth MR and CT studies are desired Initially to estabhsh the diagnosis and to evaluate tumor extent. MR was the preferred method in deteting the presene of reurrent tumor. Clinial experiene with MR has demonstrated its superiority over CT in the evaluation of many brain tumors, and it has been ited by some authors as the examination of hoie in sreening and delineating tumor extent [1-3] due to its inreased sensitivity and diret multi planar apabilities. The variable histologic appearanes of raniopharyngiomas and the diffiulty in identifying alifiations with MR has ast doubt on its appliability in suspeted raniopharyngioma. Previous reports have inluded isolated ases in larger studies of brain tumors [4-8]. eause the spetrum of MR appearanes of this tumor has not previously been desribed fully, we orrelated the results of MR, CT, and histopathology in 20 patients to haraterize the MR appearane and to determine its role in diagnosis.

Fifteen patients with surgial proof and five with linial and CT diagnosis of raniopharyngioma are inluded in the study. MR was performed as part of the preoperative workup in 13 patients. In seven patients it was performed after biopsy or partial surgial resetion. MR and CT studies were performed in all ases. MR studies were performed on one of three imagers. Relative T1-weighted and T2-weighted spin-eho (SE) sequenes were obtained in all patients. Sixteen patients were sanned with a 0.35-T sanner (Oiasonis). Multislie multieho images were obtained with a repetition time (TR) of 1000 or 2000 mse and an eho time (TE) of 28 or 56 mse. Three patients were sanned with a 0.3-T imager (Fonar) Multislie single-eho images were obtained with TR = 500/2000 mse, TE = 28/56 mse. Two patients were sanned on a 0.5-T instrument (Piker) Multislie, dual-eho images were obtained with TR = 1000/2000 mse, TE = 40/80 or 60/120 mse. Images were obtained in at least two planes. Surgial pathology reports were reviewed in all ases. Surgial pathologi speimens were reviewed by the authors in six ases. In one ase analysis of the hemosiderin ontent of the speimen was performed by ultraviolet light spetrosopy.
2 440 PUSEY ET L. JNR:8, May/June 1987 Results MR studies demonstrated a wide range of appearanes of raniopharyngiomas, espeially on T1-weighted images. In nine patients the tumor showed an inrease in intensity on T1-weighted images onsistent with T1 shortening (Fig. 1). Ten studies demonstrated a tumor of intermediate intensity on T1-weighted images (Fig. 2) with signal intensity greater than CSF and variable homogeneity (Fig. 3). In one ase a ysti tumor showed dereased intensity on T1-weighted images (Fig. 4). The raniopharyngiomas were of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images in all but one ase, suggesting a long T2 relaxation time (Figs. 18 and 28). Pathologi speimens were reviewed in an attempt to orrelate the varying MR appearanes with the wide histologi appearanes of raniopharyngiomas. High-intensity signal on T1 -weighted images was found to orrespond to a high liquid holesterol ontent in the tumor, as demonstrated pathologially (Fig. 1), or to the presene of methemoglobin, as demonstrated by ultraviolet visible spetrosopy (Fig. 5). Moderate-intensity signal on T1-weighted images was found in tumors without high holesterol ontent (Fig. 2). In eah ase the_ tumor demonstrated a high signal intensity on T2- weighted images. In a single ase (Fig. 4), the tumor demonstrated low-intensity signal on both T1- and T2-weighted images. This orresponded to a ysti tumor with a high keratin ontent and deliate bone trabeular network. The presene of extensive ossifiation throughout the aspirated speimen was a surprising finding. pparently, the deliate bone trabeular network ollapsed with sution and ould be aspirated with yst fluid at surgery. In eah ase the typial adamantinomatous pattern was present in some of the pathologi setions, onfirming the diagnosis. Overall, CT was superior to MR in demonstrating alifiations within the tumors. MR failed to demonstrate areas of alifiation in three of 14 ases in whih alifiation was demonstrated by CT (Figs. 1 and 6). In one ase, alifiation would have been inorretly suspeted on the basis of MR. The areas of low signal on MR orresponded to low-density regions on CT believed to represent areas of ysti nerosis (Fig. 3). MR imaging was very sensitive in deteting the presene of pathology. In two ases MR was superior to ontrastinfused CT in demonstrating tumor. In one ase in whih tumor was onfined to the suprasellar region the tumor was _not appreiated on ontrast-infused CT.

C, 6 months later. Patient returned with inreasing visual field defiits. Enlargement of tumor mass with suprasellar extension is seen on T1-weighted image (TE = 28, TR = 500 mse). D, Coronal T2-weighted image shows extension of tumor to level of opti hiasm (TE = 56, TR = 2000 mse). D performed 4 days later learly demonstrated the abnormality (Fig. 2). In a seond patient, pathology was suspeted on CT due to the presene of an enlarged sella without demonstration of tumor. MR 2 weeks later showed a 2.S-m tumor with suprasellar extension. In 10 patients the tumor was loated above and within the sella. In nine the tumor was entirely suprasellar. In one the tumor was loated only within the sella (Fig. 6). Posterior extension in five ases was well demonstrated on sagittal MR images, whih was signifiant in planning the surgial approah in these ases. In one of these patients the posterior loation of the tumor was not appreiated on CT, and the tumor was missed during transnasal biopsy. Subsequent MR revealed the posterior loation of the tumor (Fig. 7). Coronal images were espeially useful in demonstrating avernous sinus extension, whih was present in one ase (Fig. 1) and was important in planning postsurgial radiation therapy. Disussion Craniopharyngiomas originate from squamous epithelial rests of Rathke's pouh. They are benign, slow-growing tumors. lthough primarily tumors of hildren and young Fig year-old man with double vision and headahes. Sagittal SE image (TE = 28, TR = 499 mse) shows high-intensity suprasellar tumor extending posteriorly. iopsy was performed through transnasal approah and normal tissue was obtained. Posterior extension of tumor is important in preoperative surgial planning. Subtemporal exposure may be preferred in ases with signifiant posterior extension.
6 444 PUSEY ET L. JNR :8, May/June 1987 adults, some may have delayed presentation in middle age or older. They present with headahe, visual symptoms, and symptoms aused by dysfuntion of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Growth failure is often the mode of presentation in a hild. The histologi pattern of raniopharyngiomas [9, 10] is variable and inludes a variety of ell types. Diagnosis is made histologially by the identifiation of nests or ords of stratified squamous or olumnar epithelium in loose fibrous stroma reminisent of the enamel organ of the tooth, and they are onsidered to have an adamantinomatous pattern. Craniopharyngiomas may be ysti, often with high holesterol ontent, or solid, and they ontain alium in 75% of ases. The wide range of histologi appearanes of raniopharyngiomas was refleted in their MR appearanes. lthough definitive statements onerning alium and holesterol ontent annot be made without omplete setioning of the entire speimen, qualitative examination of the setions orrelated well with the several MR patterns. High intensity on T1- weighted images was noted in ysti lesions with high holesterol ontent or ontaining methemoglobin. Kjos et al. [4] desribed high-intensity signal on T1-weighted images of hemorrhagi ysts. radley and Shmidt [11] showed that methemoglobin formation with T1 shortening at least partially aounts for the inreasing MR signal intensity of subarahnoid hemorrhage with time. Moderate intensity on T1- weighted images was noted in tumors laking signifiant holesterol or blood. oth these groups demonstrated high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. In a single ase (Fig. 4), low signal intensity was demonstrated on both T1- and T2-weighted images in a ysti lesion high in keratin and having extensive bone trabeulae. In this ase CT demonstrated a hyperdense lesion. raun et al. [12] desribed hyperdense ysti raniopharyngiomas in four of 63 ases in their series. Their analysis of yst ontents demonstrated a high protein ontent in these ases. However, the MR appearane of low T1 and T2 signal intensity in our series was explained by the deliate bone trabeular network found at pathologi examination of the yst aspirate. Despite the presene of ossifiation, the tumor behaved as a yst at surgery, and ollapse of the yst walls was seen on postaspiration CT studies. In the evaluation of raniopharyngioma the presene of alifiation is often of diagnosti signifiane. Holland et al. [8] have shown CT to be superior to MR in the detetion of alifiation, whih was also demonstrated in our study. The failure of MR to demonstrate tumoral alifiation is of less importane in the evaluation of tumor reurrene when the tissue diagnosis is known. MR has proved to be valuable in preoperative and radiation therapy planning due to its multiplanar apabilities. urate preoperative knowledge of the tumor extent may lead to a hange in the surgial approah [13]. transnasal approah may be suffiient for an entirely intrasellar tumor. Suprasellar tumor may require a subfrontal approah to allow optimal exposure of the opti hiasm. Cryoprobes may need to be available in this ase to peel tumor away from the opti hiasm. Supra- and intrasellar tumor extension may additionally require unroofing of the sphenoid sinus. If the tumor extends posteriorly along the livus a subtemporal approah may be preferred. ysti raniopharyngioma may allow a more onservative surgial approah with drainage without removing the walls and with implantation of radioisotopes. MR offers superior information in identifying tumor in the avernous sinus (Fig. 1 ), whih would not usually be explored at surgery and would be treated with radiation therapy. Tumor extension into the sphenoid sinus is not as easily identified by MR due to its resemblane to benign onditions suh as sinus disease and hanges resulting from transnasal biopsy. In ases with supra- and intrasellar tumor, a subfrontal approah with unroofing of the sphenoid sinus would be used, and extension into the sinus would be disovered at surgery. In summary, MR is more sensitive than CT in identifying the presene and extent of tumor. The wide range of appearanes on T1-weighted images reflets the range of histologi appearanes of raniopharyngiomas. T1 shortening may reflet the presene of high holesterol ontent or methemoglobin. CT is superior to MR in deteting alifiations. Currently, CT is more speifi in establishing the diagnosis of raniopharyngioma. MR is preferred in the evaluation of tumor extent for presurgial and radiation planning. MR is valuable in deteting reurrent tumor, partiularly in hildren, to limit radiation exposure.
