SUMMARY:Intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytomas in children and adolescents are prone to bleeding during surgery. CT and MR imaging may serve a role in preoperative diagnosis. The purpose of this report was to describe the radiologic findings in 9 pathologically proved cases of intracranial meningeal hemangiopericytomas in children and adolescents. The average duration of symptoms was short (mean, 4.0 months; median, 1.5 months). The intraoperative blood loss was large (mean, 3561 mL; median, 1000 mL). Tumors were extra-axial, irregularly multilobular, and hypervascular. Radiologically, they showed mixed attenuation on precontrast CT images, heterogeneous signal intensity on precontrast MR imaging, and marked and heterogeneous enhancement on postcontrast MR imaging. Bone erosion was sometimes present, but hyperostosis was not present. On MR imaging, multiple signal intensity voids of vessels were observed in 100% (8/8) of tumors with AVM-like signal intensity flow voids in 25% (2/8) of tumors. These results suggest that CT and MR imaging findings may be helpful for preoperative diagnosis. |
