Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 48117
  • Image ID: 25170413
  • Image stack position: 22/51
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: T1 C+
  • Study findings: In the anterior aspect of the pons, in the midline, is and a lesion with heterogeneous central signal, and the prominent peripheral complete hemosiderin ring, which demonstrates blooming on susceptibility weighted imaging. These features are characteristic of a cavernous malformation. No abnormal vessels are demonstrated in the area, and certainly no features to suggest an AVM. A second similar lesion is demonstrated abutting the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle, also characteristic of a cavernous malformation, which mimic to the appearance of intraventricular blood on CT. No the lesion demonstrates a surrounding edema to suggest recent hemorrhage. Remainder of the brain is unremarkable in appearance. MRA is normal. Conclusion Features are characteristic and pathognomonic of two cavernous malformations (cavernomas).
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: A peripherally lobulated hyperdense lesion with central round areas of hypodensity within the anterosuperior aspect of the pons appears to have minor enhancement. No supplying artery or draining vein identified. No surrounding edema. No positive nor negative mass effect. On the sagittal plane, it appears wedge like. A second area of focal hyperdensity adjacent to the left occipital horn of the lateral ventricle appears to layer in the axial plane but does not on the sagittal plane. Conclusion: The pontine lesion most likely represents a low flow vascular malformation (i.e. cavernoma or mixed cavernoma/telangietasia). Tumor is thought less likely. Dependent left occipital horn lesion probably does not represent intraventricular blood, but rather a second cavernoma.
