Abstract
The case of woman, aged 52, who had a fourth ventricular epidermoid, which eluded definite diagnosis for six years because of spontaneous remissions, is reported. Computed tomography may be misleading in such cases with spontaneous remission of symptoms because of the low electron density of the tumor which is not enhanced by intravenous contrast medium. Other diagnostic means such as ventriculography should not be neglected. Bericht über eine 52jährige Frau mit einem Epidermoid im vierten Ventrikel. Die Diagnose blieb während 6 Jahren wegen spontaner Remissionen offen. Wegen der geringen Dichte des Tumors kann auch die Computertomographie in solchen Fällen täuschen, um so mehr als keine Anreicherung des intravenösen Kontrastmittels stattfindet. In derartigen Fällen sollten andere diagnostische Maßnahmen wie die Ventrikulographie nicht vernachlässigt werden.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
