“…One of the most typical manifestations is a thick, enhancing infundibulum (56). Occasionally, granulomas coalesce to form large masslike lesions, particularly in the region of the floor of the third ventricle and optic chiasm (57).…”

The hypothalamus is susceptible to involvement by a variety of processes, including developmental abnormalities, primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), vascular tumors, systemic tumors affecting the CNS, and inflammatory and granulomatous diseases. The hypothalamus may also be involved by lesions arising from surrounding structures such as the pituitary gland. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the modality of choice for evaluating the anatomy and pathologic conditions of the hypothalamus. The MR imaging differential diagnosis depends on accurate anatomic localization and tissue characterization of hypothalamic lesions through the recognition of their signal intensity and contrast material enhancement patterns. Diffusion-weighted imaging and proton MR spectroscopy can be helpful in differentiating among various types of hypothalamic lesions. Key MR imaging features, in addition to the patient's age and clinical findings at presentation, may be helpful in developing the differential diagnosis for lesions involving the hypothalamic region.

“…Sıklıkla adezif araknoidit ve hipotalamo-hipofizer alanın granülomatöz tutulumuyla birliktedir. İn-filtratif nodüller suprasellar veya sellar kitleler gibi görülebilir (35). Hipopituitarizm genellikle hipotalamusun tutulmasına bağlıdır.…”

La sarcoïdose est une granulomatose multi viscérale d'étiologie inconnue qui peut revêtir des tableaux cliniques et radiologiques diverses. Les localisations cérébrales bien que rares, peuvent se présenter sous forme pseudo-tumorale trompeuse. Nous rapportons l'observation d'un jeune adulte Tunisien hospitalisé pour hypertension intracrânienne en rapport avec une lésion pseudotumorale radiologique qui a révélé une sarcoïdose systémique.
