Abstract:
To improve the CT diagnosis of cerebral angioreticuloma, 3 cases of pathologically proven cerebral angioreticuloma were reviewed. The results showed that the image of CT of the first case revealed an irregular, parenchymatous mass located in the right temporallobe and middle cranial fossa.In the second patient,the image showed a annular mass with cystic consistency,surrounded by an area of edema, situated in the right frontal lobe,while in the third patient there was an irregular high density mass with an area of edema lying in the left frontal lobe and along the middle line. Pathological diagnosis of the first patient was mixed angioreticuloma and glioblastoma, and that of the others were angioreticulomas. the results suggested that if the mass in the cerebrum was obviously enhanced in CT, the diagnosis of angioreticuloma should be considered.
