Clinical imaging
-
Subependymomas are rare, slow-growing, benign intraventricular tumors which occur commonly in the fourth or lateral ventricle. They usually occur in elderly men and often are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. We report a case of a 6-year-old girl with a symptomatic subependymoma in the third ventricle with MR imaging.

Review Case Reports
Carotid-anterior cerebral artery anastomosis: MR angiographic features and literature review.
Carotid-anterior cerebral artery anastomosis is a rare anomaly of the anterior part of the circle of Willis. We report here magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic findings in 2 patients with this anomaly. ⋯ Thirty anomalous arteries were found in the 27 patients (R/L/bilateral=22/2/3). The reason for the right-sided predominance is unknown.

Review Case Reports
Leiomyoma of the ovary mimicking mucinous cystadenoma.
We present a case of ovarian leiomyoma of a 46-year-old woman with a history of a palpable lower abdominal mass. A multiloculated multiseptated mainly cystic mass in the left adnexa on computed tomography (CT) was initially considered to be an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. This mass, however, was proved to be a left ovarian vascular leiomyoma on the surgical pathology.
