Question Category : Brain Tumors
I had attended a child 2 days back, he complained of falling from height with vomiting. It was head injury, vomiting without any other signs. For ruling out internal injury, I advised brain scan. Brain CT scan reported as:
Enhancing intraventricular mass (2.3*1.8cm) in body of Lt. Lateral ventricle without hydrocephalus. Post contrast study shows significant enhancement. Mass is in relation to septum pellucidum. Cavum septum pellucidum and cavum septum vergae noted. Brain stem, 4th ventricle and cerebellum are normal. Basal ganglia and cerebral sulci are well defined. No area of attenuation or no shift in midline. Is there any other differential diagnosis? Can this be a case of ependymoma or Sub-ependymal giant cell astrocytoms? Patient is asymptomatic at present. How can the case be further managed?
