Ependymoma
Diagnosis probable
Updates to Study Attributes
Findings
was changed:
A T2W intermediate signal intenstiy mass in the fourth ventricle, with extension from luschka and magendie foramens into the right CP angle and cervicomedullary junction, respectively.On postcontrast images there is heterogenous enhancement within the lesion.
Obstruction of the quadrigeminal cistern and mild mass effect on the posterior midbrain represents upward extension of the mass.
Images Changes:

Body
was changed:
Medulloblastoma and ependymoma are two important differential considerations in the pediatric fourth ventricular masses.
Tumoral heterogeneity, origin from the floor of the fourth ventricle, heterogenousheterogeneous enhancement, and extension through ventricular foramens into the adjacent cisterns are features in favor of ependymoma.
