Cerebral ventriculitis, a rare central nervous system infection, presents unique findings on MRI. Abnormal T2-weighted signals in the ependyma and CSF, with enhancement on T1-weighted images, aid in diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neuroradiology

Background:

  • Cerebral ventriculitis is an infrequent but serious central nervous system infection.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • This study reports magnetic resonance (MR) findings in two patients with confirmed cerebral ventriculitis.
  • Diagnostic confirmation was based on cytologic analysis and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging revealed abnormal signal intensity within the ependyma and CSF on T2-weighted sequences.
  • One patient demonstrated ependymal, meningeal, and dural enhancement on T1-weighted images post-gadolinium administration.

Implications:
