Findings
CT
- Cystic mass in the left cerebellar hemisphere with a solid mural nodule posterosuperiorly
- No corresponding calcification
- Associated mass effect on the fourth ventricle and obstructive hydrocephalus with subependymal edema
MRI
- Cystic mass in the left cerebellar hemisphere with an enhancing mural nodule along its posterosuperior margin abutting the left tentorial leaflet
- Susceptibility artifact in the mural nodule, which may relate to internal vascularity
- No corresponding restricted diffusion
- Minimal rim of surrounding parenchymal edema
- Associated mass effect on the fourth ventricle and obstructive hydrocephalus with subependymal edema
