Dilatations géantes des espaces de Virchow-Robin

Giant cystic widening of Virchow-Robin spaces are extremely rare entities. MR imaging helps the diagnosis. Only extreme dilatation of Virchow-Robin perivascular spaces close to ventricular system must be watched and treated in case of an obstructive hydrocephalus risk. When located in cerebral hemispheres, these dilatations are mostly asymptomatic and must not be confused with a cystic tumoral disease.
