12 LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS X 24 y/o with DI Bx of scalp and groin lesion T12 & pit mets Proliferative do. of Langerhan s cells

13 Granular cell tumour Sag T1WI C+ shows a well defined enhancing mass within the pituitary stalk. The pituitary gland is normal, as is the hypothalamus. Arise from stalk or neurohypophysis. Benign lesions, also called pituicytoma or choristoma. (Courtesy of L. Mechtler) 13

15 Extrasellar: Suprasellar Craniopharyngioma Tuber cinereum hamartoma Arachnoid cyst Dermoid, Epidermoid Inflammation-infection Vascular 15

16 Craniopharyngioma epithelial: adamantinous or squamous-papillary Sartoretti-Schefer et al. Am J Neuroradiol 18:77 87, 16

17 Germinoma ma 80-90% along IIIrd ventricle 5-10% basal ggl Bifocal germinoma: pineal + suprasellar DWI restriction: high cellularity Intense homogeneous Gad+ ± CSF seeding, ± brain invasion 17

18 Hypothalamic/Optic Chiasm Gliomas 15-30% associated with NF-1 18

19 Tuber Cinereum Hamartoma Post Gd T1, T2 sagittal, and post-gd T1 axial images. A mass is seen between the infundibulum and mammillary bodies, hyperintense to gray matter on T2. The mass appears similar to the brain parenchyma on T1 and shows no enhancement. This is a grey matter heterotopia. Large sessile causes gelastic seizures, and smaller pedunculated central precocious puberty. (courtesy of Dr. A. Osborn and Mechtler) 19

20 Arachnoid cyst in the suprasellar region markedly elevating the hypothalamus & stretching the pituitary stalk elevation of the right side of the chiasm by the cyst no cyst wall is evident pituitary tissue itself is nl. Same signal as CSF No enhancement No Ca++ 20

21 Colloid cysts are slow-growing lesions, close to foramen of Monro, rarely intra or suprasellar cistern, lined with epithelial cells and filled with mucus. Myriad of MRI signal: T1 T2. 21

22 Dermoid Cyst <0.5% if primary intracranial tumors Ectopic cyst containing dermal elements Less common than epidermoid Rupture causes significant morbidity and mortality 22

23 EPIDERMOID CYST -1% of all IC tumors -At CPA, parasellar, 4 th ventricular regions -Fast-FLAIR & DWI best sequences 23

24 45 Y/O WOMAN WITH CONFUSION Neurosarcoidosis Solitary or multifocal CNS masses, dural plaque, parenchymal (non-caseating granulomas) 24

25 abnl. CXR in >90% of NS WM small vessel vasculitis/angiitis Coats CNs/fill IAC Leptomeningeal dz of the base of the brain similar to TB spreads along the Virchow- Robin spaces to form intraparenchymal masses 25

26 Extrasellar: Parasellar Meningioma Schwannoma THS CCF Cavernous hemang Thrombosis Lemierre syn 26

27 Patient presents with severe periorbital or retro-orbital pain of acute onset that is constant in nature; Diplopia due to opthalmoparesis usually follows the onset of the pain; The symptoms are usually unilateral 27

28 The International Headache Society criteria for THS One or more episodes of unilateral orbital pain lasting for an average of 8 weeks if left untreated Third, forth, and/or sixth cranial nerve palsy, which begins within two weeks of the onset of the orbital pain Symptoms that resolve within hours of initiation of steroid therapy Exclusion of other etiologies by appropriate investigation, including neuroimaging. 28

32 Extrasellar: Infrasellar 32

33 Chordoma Chordomas are the most common lesions of the clivus, also a favored location for metastases and chondrosarcomas. Hypointense intratumoral septations, Ca++, T2. 33

34 The CT shows some calcifications in this area. The differential diagnosis for this mass would be chordoma or chondrosarcoma Chordomas tend to occur in the midline, whereas chondrosarcomas tend to occur off the midline. 34

35 Chondrosarcoma 35

36 Patient with lung Ca presents with CN VIth palsy due to tumor metastasis. The normal fatty marrow has been replaced by abnl. tissue. Also lymphomas, myelomas or diffuse bone abnormalities can give this appearance. Therefore always take a moment to look at the clivus! 36
