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.
