A 5-year-old girl with right lateral ventricle choroids plexus papilloma.A, Axial postcontrast T1-weighted image shows an avidly enhancing, intraventricular mass.B, Dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced image during the maximum bolus demonstrates marked signal intensity drop within the tumor because of increased tumor vascularity.C, Susceptibility-weighted signal intensity time curves from regions of interest placed over the tumor (green) and the contralateral normal brain (pink) show marked difference in signal intensity recovery between the 2 regions. The tumor vasculature lacks blood-brain barrier and there is immediate and marked leakage of contrast agent during the bolus phase (arrows) and minimal return to the baseline.
