Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 28131
  • Image ID: 6202598
  • Image stack position: 13/20
  • Plane projection: CISS AX
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Oncology
  • Findings: There is a homogeneously enhancing mass, measuring 14 x 6 mm, arising from within the right internal acoustic canal. The mass expands the internal acoustic meatus, extends along the course of the vestibulocochlear nerve and just projects into the cerebello-pontine angle where it does not contact the brainstem or cerebellar peduncle. The left internal acoustic meatus is normal. There is a second, homogeneously enhancing lesion centered, and contained within the boundaries, of the fourth ventricle measuring 11 x 9 x 19 mm (AP, transverse, cc ). It does not result in obstruction to CSF flow. The temporal horns and lateral ventricles are not dilated. The mass returns intermediate homogeneous T2 signal and does not exhibit restricted diffusion. No surrounding FLAIR signal abnormality or substantial mass effect. Deep white matter T2 hyperintensities are consistent with the patient's age. There are no remote extra axial lesions. The optic nerves and optic chiasm are unremarkable. Conclusion: The most likely diagnosis is that of an ependymoma, especially given the enhancement, and co-existing acoustic schwannoma which raises the possibility of neurofibromatosis type II. If these two lesions are unrelated than a subependymoma (usually little if any enhancement), hemangioblastoma (usually prominent flow-voids) or choroid plexus lesions (papilloma or even metastasis) can be considered, but are even then thought to be less likely.
