The CT appearances in 87 patients with intraventricular mass lesion were analyzed in order to verify the characteristic finding. The pathological diagnoses included medulloblastoma in 27, astrocytoma in 16, craniopharyngioma in 15, ependymoma in 9, meningioma in 7, AVM in 4, choroid plexus papilloma and epidermoid cyst in 2 each. One each had teratoma, ependymal cyst, cysticercosis, cavernous hemangioma and hemangioblastoma. The histologic diagnosis could be suggested by the frequency, location, density, age and sex of the patients. The differential features of each diagnosis are discussed.
