Abstract

Ecchordosis physaliphora is a rare congenital, benign, hamartomatous, retroclival mass derived from notochordal tissue that is typically located intradurally in the prepontine cistern. Ecchordosis physaliphora is usually asymptomatic. In rare cases, ecchordosis physaliphora can be symptomatic due to tumor expansion and compression of the surrounding structures and extratumoral hemorrhage. To our knowledge, ecchordosis physaliphora associated with intratumoral hemorrhage and vasogenic edema has not been previously described. We present a case of 22-year-old man who presented with headache and confusion. MR imaging and CT revealed intracranial ecchordosis physaliphora associated with intratumoral hemorrhage and vasogenic edema. The neurological findings resolved completely after medical therapy.

Özet

Ecchordosis physaliphora notokord dokusundan kaynaklanan nadir, konjenital,benign, hamartamatöz retroklival kitlelerdir. Tipik olarak prepontin sisternada intradural yerleşim gösterirler. Ecchordosis physaliphora genellikle asemptomatiktir. Nadiren tümörün ekspansiyonuyla çevre dokulara bası ya da kanamalara bağlı semptomatik olan olgular tanımlanmıştır. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla şimdiye kadar, tümör içi kanama ve vazojenik ödemin eşlik ettiği ecchordosis physaliphora olgusu bildirilmemiştir. Biz, başağrısı ve konfüzyonla başvuran ve tümör içi kanama ve vazojenik ödemin eşlik ettiği intrakraniyal Ecchordosis physaliphoralı 22 yaşında erkek olgunun BT ve MR görüntüleme bulgularını sunduk. Medikal tedaviyi takiben nörolojik bulgular tamamen düzeldi.
