Distinctive plain X-ray and computer assisted tomography (CAT) findings led to the diagnosis in a case of teratoma in the pineal region and helped avoid invasive investigations. The demonstration by CAT of the location and size of the tumor as well as the presence of marked hydrocephalus directed the patient's therapy to ventriculoperitoneal shunting and radiation.
特征性的普通X线和计算机断层扫描（CAT）结果有助于诊断一例松果体区畸胎瘤，并避免了侵入性检查。CAT对肿瘤的位置、大小以及明显脑积水的显示，指导了患者进行脑室腹腔分流术和放疗。
