Intracranial xanthoma: long-term follow-up MR findings.
We report the serial MR findings and histologic features of intracerebral xanthoma in a patient with hyperlipidemia. MR imaging revealed nodule formations with variable degrees of edema and enhancement in the perivascular spaces. In some lesions, high-signal-intensity foci were observed on unenhanced T1-weighted images, which suggest lipid contents of the lesion.
