Anterior Temporal Lob Perivasküler Boşlukları: Tanısal Zorlukları ve Klinik Sonuçları Vurgulayan Bir Vaka Raporu

Year 2024, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 68 - 69, 21.06.2024

Abstract

Öz
Perivasküler boşluklar, Virchow-Robin boşlukları olarak da bilinir ve serebral damarların etrafında bulunan sıvı dolu boşluklardır. Büyümüş halleri, tumefaktif perivasküler boşluklar olarak adlandırılır ve tümörleri taklit ederek tanısal zorluklara yol açabilirler. Bu vaka raporu, tinnitus şikayeti olan 58 yaşında bir kadını ele almaktadır. Hastanın manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) sonucunda sol ön temporal lobda kontrast tutmayan kistik bir lezyon tespit edilmiştir. Bu lezyon görüntüleme özellikleri, ön temporal lob perivasküler boşlukları için tipiktir. Bu lezyonlar tümörlerle karıştırılabilir ve bu da gereksiz cerrahi işlemlere yol açabilirler. Bu lezyonların doğru bir şekilde tanınması, gereksiz tedavilerden kaçınmak için hayati öneme sahiptir. Genellikle zamanla değişmeyen bu lezyonlar için tedavi gerekmez ve "dokunma" lezyonları olarak sınıflandırılabilirler.

Anterior Temporal Lobe Perivascular Spaces: A Case Report Highlighting Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Implications

Year 2024, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 68 - 69, 21.06.2024

Abstract

Abstract
Perivascular spaces, known as Virchow-Robin spaces, are fluid-filled spaces around cerebral vessels. Enlarged forms, termed tumefactive perivascular spaces, can mimic tumors and lead to diagnostic challenges. This case report discusses a 58-year-old female with tinnitus, whose MRI revealed a non-enhancing cystic lesion in the left anterior temporal lobe, typical of anterior temporal lobe perivascular spaces. These lesions can be mistaken for tumors, leading to unnecessary interventions like surgeries or biopsies. Recognizing these lesions accurately is vital to avoid unnecessary treatments. Generally stable over time, these lesions often do not require treatment and can be categorized as "do not touch" lesions.
