Axial (image 1) and coronal (image 2) head CT shows a lobulated mass (arrow) in the right tectal region causing massive obstructive hydrocephalus. If this represents an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), what other imaging is recommended?

Axial T1 FLAIR MRI shows subependymal gray matter heterotopia (arrowhead), the most commonly observed form of gray matter heterotopia. The differential diagnosis for this finding includes subependymal nodules that occur in tuberous sclerosis complex. Gray matter heterotopia is distinguished from subependymal nodules of tuberous sclerosis by the signal intensity of the nodule; in tuberous sclerosis, the T2 signal of subependymal nodules is higher than that of normal gray matter while nodules in gray matter heterotopia are isointense to gray matter. Patients with tuberous sclerosis may also have additional stigmata such as subcortical tubers and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas.

Update from prior case. This patient had bilateral chronic subdural hematoma. The blood was isodense with the brain. One hematoma counter effect the mass of the each other giving the appearance of a symmetric brain. Sulci is gone because of mass effect but not obvious shifting in the midline. This very symptomatic patient was taken to surgery. I in this case have marked the areas of the hematoma. The presence of bilateral hematoma gave also bilateral findings in the physical examination. There was history of trauma 6 weeks ago.
