Radiologic characteristics of ependymomas: a case-based approach.

Radiologic characteristics of ependymomas: a case-based approach. J Neurosurg Sci. 2017 Sep 22;: Authors: Khatami D, Kasper EM, Bhadelia R, Rojas R Abstract The purpose of this paper is to interoduce and review the characteristic imaging features of ependymal neoplasms through a comprehensive case-based approach. Illustrated cases highlight both common and uncommon manifestations of CNS-ependymomas. The combination of imaging features, location of the tumor, and patient's demographics often allow the suggestion of ependymoma as a lead entity in the differential diagnosis. However, significant overlap exists between the radiologic characteristics of ependymomas and those of other tumors commonly encountered in the same locations, which can pose a challenge for a definitive diagnosis based on imaging alone.
