Intracranial ependymomas represent a rare subgroup of glial tumours, showing a wide variety of imaging characteristics, often representing a challenging diagnosis for neuroradiologists. Here, we review the most recent scientific Literature on intracranial ependymomas, highlighting the most characteristic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of these neoplasms, along with epidemiologic data, recent classification aspects, clinical presentation and conventional therapeutic strategies. In addition, we report an illustrative case of an 18-year-old girl presenting with an intracranial supratentorial, anaplastic ependymoma, with the aim of contributing to the existing knowledge and comprehension of this rare tumour.
颅内室管膜瘤是一种罕见的神经胶质瘤亚组,表现出多种多样的影像学特征,常常对神经放射科医生的诊断构成挑战。在这里,我们回顾了颅内室管膜瘤的最新科学文献,重点介绍了这些肿瘤最具特征性的 CT 和 MRI 特征,以及流行病学数据、最新的分类方面、临床表现和传统的治疗策略。此外,我们还报告了一个 18 岁女孩的颅内幕上间变性室管膜瘤的典型病例,旨在为这一罕见肿瘤的现有知识和认识做出贡献。
