Craniopharyngiomas are common lesions that occur in the suprasellar region; however, strictly intrinsic third ventricular craniopharyngiomas are rare.
We aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging features observed in five cases of strictly intrinsic third ventricular papillary craniopharyngiomas, including two cases of mixed cystic and solid tumors and three cases of pure solid masses.
Among the adult population, intrinsic third ventricular papillary craniopharyngiomas should be considered when either solid or mixed cystic and solid masses are observed, in which the solid component shows heterogeneous intensity, heterogeneous and strong enhancement, and is strictly located in the third ventricle.
颅咽管瘤是发生于鞍上区域的常见病变;然而,严格意义上的第三脑室内颅咽管瘤较为罕见。
我们旨在描述5例严格意义上的第三脑室内乳头状颅咽管瘤的磁共振成像特征,其中包括2例囊实性混合肿瘤和3例纯实性肿块。
在成人中,当观察到实性或囊实性混合肿块,且实性成分表现为不均匀信号强度、不均匀且明显强化,并严格位于第三脑室内时,应考虑第三脑室内原发性乳头状颅咽管瘤。
