A 49-year old woman with progressive cranial nerve signs and hemiparesis was found at MR imaging and at surgery to have a cyst at the foramen magnum. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy showed an epithelial cyst of endodermal origin. MR findings were of an extraaxial mass, with short T1 and T2 times. Unless immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy are used in the final diagnosis of such cysts, all posterior fossa cysts lined by a single layer of epithelium should be described simply as epithelial cysts.
一名49岁女性,有进行性颅神经体征和偏瘫,磁共振成像(MR)检查及手术发现枕骨大孔处有一个囊肿。免疫组织化学和电子显微镜检查显示为内胚层起源的上皮样囊肿。MR表现为轴外肿块,T1和T2加权像呈短信号。除非在这类囊肿的最终诊断中使用免疫组织化学和电子显微镜检查,否则所有由单层上皮衬里的后颅窝囊肿都应简单描述为上皮样囊肿。
