case_images: (a) T2-weighted MRI showing marked hydrocephalus, T1-weighted contrast enhanced MRI reveals a small lesion tumor at the cranial end of the aqueduct in axial (b) and sagittal view (c) and TRUFI sequences (sagittal thin T2-weighted images, (d)).

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed obstructive hydrocephalus (Figure 1) caused by a small tumor at the cranial entry of the aqueduct (Figure 2(a)). 
case_images: T2-weighted sagittal MRI (left) before and (right) after endoscopic tumor removal with restoration of the aqueduct. The tumor is marked by arrows.

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed obstructive hydrocephalus (Figure 1) caused by a small tumor at the cranial entry of the aqueduct (Figure 2(a)).  Intraoperative high-field MRI revealed a free CSF passage of the aqueduct (Figure 2(b)).
case_images: Intraoperative endoscopic images of the tumor at the entrance of the aqueduct before (a), within (b), and after tumor resection (c).

case_images: Intraoperatively, the tumor was found to be smooth and moderately vascularized (Figure 3(a)). The lesion was coagulated with bipolar coagulation and than removed using forceps (Figures 3(b) and 3(c)).
case_images: Papillary ependymoma: HE (a) S-100 protein (b) GFAP (c), Elastica-van-Giessen staining (d).

case_images: Mitoses were absent (Figure 4(a)). Immunohistochemically the tumor cells were positive for S-100 Protein (Figure 4(b)) but negative for GFAP (Figure 4(c)). Elastica-van-Giesson staining showed reticulin fibers (Figure 4(d)).
