Germinomas frequently cause hydrocephalus, and ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) have been commonly used for their management. Although VPS can potentially serve as a route for peritoneal dissemination of germinomas, the abdominal imaging characteristics of this rare yet important complication remain unknown. In this article, we report the computed tomography imaging findings of diffuse peritoneal dissemination of intracranial germinoma.
生殖细胞瘤常引起脑积水,且常采用脑室-腹腔分流术(VPS)进行治疗。尽管 VPS 可能成为生殖细胞瘤腹膜播散的途径,但这种罕见且重要并发症的腹部影像学特征尚不清楚。本文报道了颅内生殖细胞瘤弥漫性腹膜播散的计算机断层扫描成像表现。
