Figure 1
Axial images of (A) plain and (B) contrast computed tomography of the brain show a cystic lesion within the right lateral ventricles with sediments and septations within. There is also a minimal rim enhancement of the wall (arrow) and dilatation of both lateral ventricles consistent with hydrocephalus.
Figure 2
Axial magnetic resonance imaging of the brain shows hydrocephalus and the tuberculous abscess, which is a collection within the posterior horn of the right lateral ventricle. The (A) T1W post contrast image shows rim enhancement of the wall of the lesion, and the ependymal lining of both lateral ventricles and along the cortical gyri. (B) A T2W image shows hyperintense signal of the core of the lesion with an incomplete hypointense rim of the wall. (C) Diffusion-weighted image and the corresponding (D) apparent diffusion coefficient map demonstrate mild diffusion restriction (*) at the inferior aspect of the lesion. Close-up of axial images on (E) T2*-weighted gradient-echo and (F) T1W sequences. No evidence of a hypointense rim is seen in the gradient-echo image. T1W, T1-weighted; T2W, T2-weighted.
