From: A solitary hypothalamic metastasis from prostatic cancer mimicking a giant thrombotic aneurysm and presenting with intraventricular hemorrhage and acute hydrocephalus: a case report

Fig. 1

Axial non-contrast CT shows a well-defined hyperdense lesion in the suprasellar cistern associated with intraventricular hemorrhage and acute hydrocephalus (a, b). The lesion is seen as low signal on FLAIR (c) and T2 (d) with a signal drop on SWI (e). The lesion shows laminar morphology on T1 (f) and post-contrast T1 (g) but without enhancement. On the coronal T2 (h), the lesion appears as an exophytic mass from the hypothalamus with peripheral parenchymal edema. On the sagittal post-contrast CT (i), there is a large hyper-dense suprasellar mass with mass effect (compression) over the third ventricle
