Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.. Coronal (A) and axial (B) nonenhanced brain CT shows a solid and cystic lesion within the lateral left ventricle and infiltrating adjacent white matter. Coronal and axial T2 (C, D), axial FLAIR (E) shows a well-demarcated, isointense and heterogeneous lesion with predominantly peripheral cysts located within the left lateral ventricle with infiltration of its lateral wall and the septum pellucidum. Sagittal and axial post-contrast T1 (F, G) sequence shows intense enhancement of the solid portion and increased rCBV on DSC perfusion (H).
Figure 2.
Figure 2.. Clusters of atypical pleomorphic ganglion cells embedded in a haphazard manner within a delicate neuropil matrix. No neoplastic glial cells are present.
Figure 3.
Figure 3.. Immunohistochemical (IHC) studies. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) positive in normal astrocytes with positive ATRX and negative isocitrate dehydrogenase. Neurofilament (NF) and synaptophysin (SYN) were positive in the neuropil. Ki-67 (Ki67), which determines the proliferative index, was low (< 2%).
