“…A postoperative physical survey revealed a tumor in the left lung, which was later diagnosed as primary adenocarcinoma. Table 1 summarizes the clinical features of single brain metastasis to the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle from the eight cases reported previously [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and the present three cases. The ages of the 11 patients (including one patient of unknown age) ranged from 29 to 78 years (mean 59.0 years) with a male predominance (male:female = 9:1).…”

“…Only eight cases of single metastatic tumor to the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle have been reported in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In this paper, we report our experience with three cases of single brain metastasis growing in the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle, and discuss the differential diagnosis from other tumors with reference to previously reported cases.…”

Three cases of cancer metastasis to the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle are reported. The metastases were from sigmoid colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma and pulmonary cancer, and were located in the trigone in two cases and the right inferior horn in one. Total removal was accomplished in all cases without any complications. In addition, eight reported cases of single brain metastasis to the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle, including clinical and radiological features, are discussed. Peritumoral edema on computed tomographic (CT) scan or magnetic resonance (MR) imagining was found to be an important feature of metastasis developing at this site.

“…Papilloma generally occurs in atrium of lateral ventricle and fourth ventricle in children and adults respectively. Metastases usually originate from Wilm's tumour, neuroblastoma and retinoblastoma in children [5] and from gastric cancer and lung cancer in adults [6]. Menengiomas usually occur in adults and originate from lateral ventricles.…”

Aim. According to our knowledge, there is no definition for the normal choroid plexus (CP) size with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adults. The aim of this study was to evaluate the normal CP size in the adult population. The data for normal size may help to evaluate the early diagnosis of CP pathologies. Methods. The measurements were obtained retrospectively from 380 MRIs. The thickness of CP was evaluated in eight locations from different two planes for each study. The exclusion criterions were; absent or inadequate demonstration of CP and the existence of CP pathologies. Means and ranges of CP thickness were evaluated in different gender, age groups and also in general population. Comparisons were made between genders, age groups and between the thickness from left and right. Results. The mean CP thickness was found 2.22 mm, 4.63 mm and 1.95 mm in body, atrium of lateral ventricles and in fourth ventricles respectively. There was no significative difference between gender and the thickness from left and right. Conclusion. Various CP pathologies can occur in adults. To know the normal CP size may help to early diagnosis of CP pathologies that can be very important.Keywords: Brain, Choroid plexus size, magnetic resonance imaging Özet Amaç. Bizim bilgimize göre erişkinlerde magnetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) ile normal koroid pleksus (KP) boyut tanımı yoktur. Bu çalışmanın amacı erişkin popülasyonda normal boyutun değerlendirilmesidir. Bu normal boyut verileri KP patolojilerinin erken tanısına yardımcı olabilir. Yöntem. Ölçümler retrospektif olarak 380 MRG' den elde edildi. KP kalınlığı her çalışmada iki ayrı planda 8 lokalizasyonda değerlendirildi. Dışlama kriterleri; KP'nin görüntülenememesi veya yetersiz görüntülenmesi ve KP patolojilerinin bulunmasıydı. KP kalınlığının ortalaması ve dağılımı farklı cinsiyet ve yaş gruplarında ve aynı zamanda genel populasyonda değerlendirildi. Cinsiyet, yaş grupları ve sağ, sol kalınlıklar arası karşılaştırmalar yapıldı. Bulgular. Ortalama KP kalınlığı lateral ventrikül korpusu, atriumu ve dördüncü ventrikülde sırasıyla 2.22 mm, 4.63 mm ve 1.95 mm olarak bulundu. Cinsiyet ile sağda ve solda kalınlıklar arası anlamlı farklılık yoktu. Sonuç. Erişkinlerde çeşitli KP patolojileri görülebilir. Normal KP boyutunu bilme, çok önemli olabilen KP patolojilerinin erken tanısına yardım edebilir.Anahtar sözcükler: Beyin, Koroid pleksus boyutu, magnetik rezonans görüntüleme Geliş tarihi

“…Only seventeen histologically conˆrmed cases have been reported (Table). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The ages of the reported cases ranged from 45 to 78 years with a mean age of 62.8 years. All metastatic lesions were located in the lateral ventricle except for only two cases located in the fourth ventricle.…”

“…The high-density area on noncontrast CT in our case was suspected of re‰ecting calciˆcation, suggesting typical metastasis from colon cancer, which was conˆrmed histologically. Although only eight reports 7,9,[11][12][13] exist of MR images in the literature, these reports-echoing the characteristics of other tumors-reveal the tumors to be low intensity on T1-weighted images, isointensity or high intensity on T2-weighted images, and strongly and uniformly enhanced by Gd-DTPA. The CT and MRˆndings in our patient were similar to the reported cases, but we also observed two diŠerent points of punctiform enhancement on MR imaging that may re‰ect abundant tumor vessels as well as a lowintensity area on T2-weighted images that is often observed in metastatic brain tumors from adenocarcinoma, 14 especially colon cancer.…”
