case_images: (a and b) Computed tomography scan of the brain showed a lesion in the left lateral ventricle with minimal, fine, and complete rim enhancement. There was an enlargement of the left lateral ventricle with an isodense lesion, suggesting an intraventricular collection.

case_images: There was an enlargement of the left lateral ventricle with an isodense lesion, suggesting an intraventricular collection [Figure 1].
case_images: (a) Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showed thickened ependymal sheath enhancement with increasing ventricular size. (b) In fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, the ventricle contains a layering of fluid and sediment, suggesting collection. (c) There was diffusion restriction in the posterior temporal horn of the lateral ventricle.

case_images: There was diffusion restriction in the posterior temporal horn of the lateral ventricle of the lesion, which was observed on diffusion-weighted imaging [Figure 2].
