Zusammenfassung: | A woman aged 48 years presented with sudden onset tinnitus
that improved after 2 weeks. She had no headache or hearing loss.
Her general and neurologic examinations were normal. The patient
was using venlafaxine 75 mg/day. Brain magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) performed to exclude intracranial pathologies,
showed bilateral choroid plexus xanthogranulomas at the level of
atrium of the lateral ventricles, which were hypointense on T1-
weighted imaging, hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging and
diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) (Figure 1). The patient, whose
symptoms improved, was informed about her xanthogranulomas
and followed up without medical treatment. |
