Coronal (image 1) and sagittal (image 2) T1-weighted images focused on the pituitary show a thickened proximal infundibulum (arrow) with increased signal and narrowing distally. Langerhans' cell histiocytosis can rarely affect the central nervous system. When the central nervous system is affected, it most commonly appears as thickening of the infundibulum. Patients may present with diabetes insipidus.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/0d4c72e0-2d1e-416c-a522-83b96089935d)

Axial (image 1) and coronal (image 2) head CT shows a lobulated mass (arrow) in the right tectal region causing massive obstructive hydrocephalus.

Coronal (image 1) and axial (image 2) CT show herniation of a gyrus (arrow) through a remote right parietal skull fracture, which is further highlighted on a 3D reformatted image (image 3). Gyrus herniation can lead to a growing skull fracture, also known as a leptomeningeal cyst. These fractures occur in young children. As the brain, meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid herniate, they exert pressure on the surrounding skull, causing the fracture to 'grow'.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/2a63f45e-6c2e-4315-a46c-0259687fb6d6)

Axial CT of the head (image 1) shows focal calcification (arrow) in the right temporal lobe. Axial FLAIR (image 2), T2 weighted (image 3), and T1 weighted postcontrast (image 4) MRI shows abnormal signal within the subcortical white matter of the posterior aspect of the superior right temporal gyrus consistent with focal cortical dysplasia. Focal cortical dysplasia is one of the most common causes of refractory epilepsy.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/2ff59180-eda7-4941-9886-6b2fa1828ee2)
