The differential diagnosis of intraventricular neoplasm is large, and is complicated by significant overlap between the different entities. This exhibit discusses key points from imaging and patient history that allow radiologists to appropriately narrow the differential.
Biopsy-proven cases are presented to demonstrate key points that aid in narrowing the differential diagnosis of intraventricular neoplasm. Cases include:
1. Ependymoma
2. Subependymoma
3. Subependymal giant cell tumor
4. Central neurocytoma
5. Choroid plexus neoplasms
6. Intraventricular meningioma
7. Chordoid glioma
8. Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor
The presentation ends with key points being reinforced by challenging cases presented as quizzes
