Overview
CT Scan Findings in Ependymoma
Common CT sacn findings associated with ependymoma are:[1]
-
![A large, heterogeneous mass is present within the left frontal lobe. It is strikingly hyperdense, without definite calcification. The solid component enhances. Hydrocephalus is present, best seen on the right, due to outflow obstruction (noncontrast CT)[1]](/images/9/95/Ependymoma-lateral-ventricle.jpg)
A large, heterogeneous mass is present within the left frontal lobe. It is strikingly hyperdense, without definite calcification. The solid component enhances. Hydrocephalus is present, best seen on the right, due to outflow obstruction (noncontrast CT)[1]
-
![A large, heterogeneous mass is present within the left frontal lobe. It is strikingly hyperdense, without definite calcification. The solid component enhances. Hydrocephalus is present, best seen on the right, due to outflow obstruction (contrast CT)[1]](/images/3/38/Ependymoma-lateral-ventricle%281%29.jpg)
A large, heterogeneous mass is present within the left frontal lobe. It is strikingly hyperdense, without definite calcification. The solid component enhances. Hydrocephalus is present, best seen on the right, due to outflow obstruction (contrast CT)[1]
