Abstract

While small calcifications of the choroid plexus are frequent,large choroid plexus calcifications are very rare. A 25-year-oldwoman was admitted due to headache. Except for bilaterallypapillary oedema, her neurological examination was normal.The parenchyma and ventricles were normal on computedbrain tomography. However, choroid plexus calcification wasseen and was more extensive than usual (2x2x2.5 cm). Thepatient had a cerebrospinal fluid pressure of 450 mmH2O andwas diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (previously known as pseudotumor cerebri). While further studies areneeded, an increase in the size of the choroid plexus may beassociated with intracranial hypertension.

Özet

Koroid pleksusun küçük kalsifikasyonları sıklıkla görülmekle birlikte büyük kalsifikasyonları çok nadirdir. Baş ağrısı şikâyeti ile başvuran yirmi beş yaşındaki kadın hastanın nörolojikmuayenesi bilateral papil stazı dışında normaldi. Bilgisayarlıbeyin tomografisinde parankim ve ventrikül yapıları normal görünümdeydi. Ancak koroid pleksus kalsifikasyonu alışılagelmiş görünümden daha büyüktü (2x2x2,5 cm). Beyin-omurilik sıvısı basıncı 450 mmH2O olan hasta idiyopatik intrakraniyal hipertansiyon (psödotümör serebri) tanısı aldı. Daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç olmakla birlikte; koroid pleksus kalsifikasyonundaki boyut artışı, intrakraniyal hipertansiyon oluşumu ileilişkili olabilir.
