Abstract

A petrous apex cephalocele is a rare lesion of the petrous apex. It can be discovered incidentally or can cause a suite of clinical problems, such as trigeminal neuralgia or cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Although this lesion can be misinterpreted as a pathologic lesion, the characteristic radiologic features can provide the diagnostic clue for distinguishing these two lesions and avoid unnecessary treatment. Here we present CT and MRI finding of petrous apex cephalocele in two patients with review of the literature.

추체첨부 두류는 추체첨부에 생기는 드문 질환으로, 우연히 발견될 수도 있지만 제 5뇌신경증이나 뇌척수액의 유출과 같은 여러 가지 임상증상을 보이기도 한다. 이 병변은 추체첨부를 침범하는 병적 질환으로 오인될 수도 있으나 특징적인 영상의학적 소견이 이 두 병변을 감별하는 데에 도움을 줄 수 있으며, 그로 인하여 필요 없는 치료를 피할 수 있다. 저자들은 최근 2예의 추체첨부 두류를 경험하였기에, 문헌고찰과 함께 CT 및 MRI소견을 보고하는 바이다.
