Abstract:

Objective: It is intended to reveal its radiological characteristics through computer tomography (BT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRG) findings of adult kraniofarengiomas and to contribute to the distinctive diagnosis of cellar-parasular lesions. Instruments and Methods: Between 2005 and 2022, the diagnosis of "kraniofarengioma" has been confirmed histopatologically, our adult patient center has been scaned retrospectively through the database. Preoperative hypofysic/cranical BT and/or contrasted hypofysic/cranical MRG images of the events were evaluated by two radiologists and the value of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to determine the compatibility between the researchers. Imaging analysis assessed the tumor size, shape, presence and type of calcification, topographic and morphological (cystic-solid) characteristics, radiological characteristics of cystic and solid components and the possible presence of hydrosphaly. Results: Between 2005 and 2022, 12 facts that meet the study criteria were identified, and male dominance (2/1) was observed in the study group. Imaging analysis found that kraniofarengioma lesions were often lobulated (75) and showed high calcification (63.6). The topographic assessment of lesions found that the most common settlement was the sellar-suprasellar psodo type 3V (41.7%) . Cystic component in the study group has been detected in all the facts; the cystic component of lesions in MRG studies in T1A often isointens(41.6%) and in T2A in a significant part of the facts(91.7%) hyperintens signal characteristics, while the solid component of lesions in T1A images mainly iso-light hypointens(83.3%) and in T2A often iso-light hyperintens(66.6%) are observed as iso-light hypointens. In the post-contrast series assessment, a contrast retention was found in all cases (100%). In the solid components of lesions, the most frequently observed reticular paternal contrast (55.6%) observed that the capsular contrast in the cystic components was often (72.7%) in the fine straight, linear rim style. Also kraniofarengioma injury, 16% of cases. It was found that non-comminic hydrosphalin was accompanied by 7's. The result: the radiological properties of adult kraniofarengiomas may vary according to the nature of the injury. The presence of calcification is a valuable radiological finding that highlights craniofarengioma among cellar - parasellar lesions.
