ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the CT findings of primary orbital lipid prolapse. Methods The CT data of 13 patients with primary orbital lipid prolapse in Jiaxing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2012 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results In all of the 13 cases of primary orbital lipid prolapse, there were 12 cases of bilateral orbital lipid prolapse and 1 case of unilateral orbital lipid prolapse. The CT images showed that the fat density masses in the posterior orbital septum were herniated from the outer quadrant of the orbit. The tumor was crescent shaped and connected with the orbital adipose tissue. The mass and the orbital adipose tissue were natural and homogeneous. Conclusions CT has distinctive imaging findings in the diagnosis of primary orbital lipid prolapse, and it is helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the characteristic appearance and diagnosis value of central neurocytoma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods MRI data of 9 patients with central neurocytoma confirmed surgically and pathologically were retrospectively reviewed.Results All the lesions located in the lateral ventricle septum pellucidum,adjacent to Monro hole,in the anterior 1/3 to 2/3 of the lateral ventricle.Most of them were irregularity,sublobe and sharpness of border.They presented as inhomogeneous intense signal on MRI,with slight to equal enhancement on enhancement.DWI could be high or slightly high signal.Conclusion Central neurocytoma has the characteristic appearances on MRI,being helpful to the diagnosis.
