What is the most likely diagnosis for this 50-year-old gentleman, with no co-morbid, who presented with headache, vomiting & vertigo?
- Metastasis
- Pilocytic astrocytoma
- Hemangioblastoma
- Ependymoma
- Medulloblastoma
Answer
Congratulations to those who selected hemangioblastoma. The enhancing mural nodule and non-enhancing cyst wall are characteristic features. Cyst walls of pilocytic astrocytoma often enhance, and it usually occurs at a younger age. Metastasis has rim enhancement.
