Differential Diagnosis
• arachnoid cyst. Arachnoid cysts are isointense to CSF at all
sequences, including FLAIR. They displace rather than invade structures such as the epidermoid. Finally, arachnoid cysts do not restrict on diffusion-weighted image .
• Dermoid cysts are typically located along the midline and resemble fat, not CSF .
• Cystic neoplasms often enhance and do not resemble CSF .
• Neurocysticercosis cysts often enhance and demonstrate surrounding edema or gliosis .

II- Magnetic resonance imaging:
• MRI emerged as the imaging
modality of choice for most
intracranial abnormalities. This is
especially true for lesions located in
the posterior fossa, where the
sensitivity of CT is limited by beam-
hardening artifacts from the petrous
bone.
Dr Ahmed Esawy
![Page 37: Intracranial tumour&tumour like cystic lesion Dr Ahmed Esawy CT MRI 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051123/58e4ce401a28abc24e8b695b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• If metastases are to be excluded,
heavily T1-weighted pre- and
post-contrast images can be
obtained. Intravenous contrast is
a routine for tumor and infection
investigation.
Dr Ahmed Esawy
![Page 38: Intracranial tumour&tumour like cystic lesion Dr Ahmed Esawy CT MRI 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051123/58e4ce401a28abc24e8b695b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• A potential drawback of SE images
is that they may not reliably show
the internal architecture or
morphology of cystic masses. If
the solid portion does not
enhances with contrast material, it
difficult to determine whether the
mass is simple cyst or a cyst with
solid component.
Dr Ahmed Esawy
![Page 39: Intracranial tumour&tumour like cystic lesion Dr Ahmed Esawy CT MRI 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051123/58e4ce401a28abc24e8b695b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Fluid-attenuation inversion-recovery
(FLAIR) MRI belongs to a family of
inversion-recovery sequences, that
generates heavily T2-weighted
images with nulling/subtraction of
the CSF sign and enable improved
characterization of complex cystic
masses.

Image guided therapy:
CT and MRI have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of brain abscesses. If excisional neurosurgery is not immediately or otherwise indicated an attempt at abscess aspiration should be made usually guided by CT when the lesion is accessible. Also intraoperative imaging using MR allows for precise localization of the lesion and its relationship. Dr Ahmed Esawy
