Abstract

In reviewing 10 children with surgically proven posterior fossa ependymomas, various computed tomographic representations were seen. Calcification, seen in 50% of the cases, was the single most important finding suggesting the diagnosis of ependymoma. The appearance of two of our ependymomas mimicked the "typical" appearance of medulloblastomas. A case of calcified brainstem ependymoma is presented, to our knowledge, the first such case studied with computed tomography.

摘要

在对10例经手术证实的后颅窝室管膜瘤患儿进行回顾性研究时，发现了各种计算机断层扫描表现。50%的病例可见钙化，这是提示室管膜瘤诊断的唯一最重要的发现。我们的两例室管膜瘤的表现类似髓母细胞瘤的“典型”表现。本文报告一例钙化型脑干室管膜瘤，据我们所知，这是首例经计算机断层扫描研究的此类病例。
