Fig 1.
Noncontrast CT, axial image, reveals a large predominantly hyperattenuating parafalcine mass with central low attenuation, extending to the frontal convexity, exhibiting mass effect and associated vasogenic edema.
Fig 2.
Fig 2.
Axial T1- (left) and T2-weighted (right) images demonstrate a large heterogeneous extra-axial perafalcine mass extending to the frontal convexity, exhibiting mass effect on the medial frontal lobes and corpus callosum, with considerable associated frontal lobe vasogenic edema. The mass has T2-weighted hypointense components.

Fig 3.
Axial (left) and coronal (right) T1-weighted postcontrast images. The mass enhances heterogeneously after contrast administration and demonstrates multiple cystic areas both within and adjacent to it.
