Q
A

dandy walker malformation

This case illustrates a classic Dandy Walker malformation with associated aqueduct stenosis and obstructive hydrocephalus, a common associated feature

(although not part of the Dandy walker triad:

  1. hypoplasia of the vermis with cephalad rotation of the torcula,
  2. cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle,
  3. enlarged posterior fossa )

Q
A

NPH

  • widening of the temporal horns of the lateral ventricles >6 mm
  • acute callosal angle
  • dilated Sylvian fissures
  • tight high convexity (narrow sulci and subarachnoid spaces at the vertex and medial/parafalcine region)

Q
A

choroid plexus papilloma.

Usually the ventricular system is dilated as a result of an increased production of CSF (“overproduction hydrocephalus”).

A lobulated hyperdense soft tissue mass with a “cauliflower-like” appearance in the trigone of the left lateral ventricle with intense contrast enhancement. The ventricular system is enlarged.
