A 79-year-old woman presented with gradual neurologic decline involving confusion, memory loss, imbalance, and incontinence. On examination, she was oriented only to self and had mild nonfluent aphasia. CT revealed a large left frontotemporal mass with areas of calcification.
A 79-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of gradual neurologic decline involving confusion, memory loss, imbalance, and incontinence. On examination, she was oriented only to self and had mild nonfluent aphasia. Computed tomography (CT) performed without the administration of contrast material revealed a large left frontotemporal mass with areas of calcification (Panel A). CT angiography (Fig. S1 in the Supplementary Appendix, available at NEJM.org) and magnetic resonance imaging (Panels B and C) also revealed the mass (which measured 3.8 cm by 6.2 cm by 3.9 cm) without contrast enhancement or intraluminal filling, which raised suspicion of a thrombosed aneurysm that . . .
