Abstract

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease of children characterized by idiopathic proliferation of histiocytes in the reticuloendothelial system. Intracranial LCH involving the brain is uncommon. We present a case of LCH involving the dural venous sinuses and choroid plexus. Contrast MRI provided an excellent means of identifying the extent of tumor involvement and showed that the patient was at risk for venous sinus thrombosis.

摘要

朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症（LCH）是一种儿童疾病，其特征为网状内皮系统中组织细胞的特发性增殖。累及脑部的颅内LCH并不常见。我们报告一例累及硬脑膜静脉窦和脉络丛的LCH病例。增强磁共振成像（MRI）为确定肿瘤累及范围提供了一种极佳的方法，并显示该患者存在静脉窦血栓形成的风险。
