Figure 2. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) image of the head. CT reconstruction in the sagittal position showed a large mass in the cerebral hemisphere with a maximum diameter of 13 cm, clear and smooth boundary, and internal bone structure. Fetal shape was observed in multi slice, with obvious compression near the cerebral parenchyma, and hydrosis of both ventricles and the third ventricle. The arrow points to the long bone.
