To obtain information regarding the internal structure of choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) that appear hyperintense on DWI, we investigated the ADC values acquired with a shorter diffusion time using an oscillating gradient spin-echo (OGSE). The ADC values for twenty-seven patients with CPCs were measured with effective diffusion time (Δeff) of 6.5 and 35.2 ms. The ADC values of CPCs were significantly higher at the Δeff of 6.5 ms than with Δeff of 35.2 ms. The dependence of ADC values on the diffusion time in CPCs suggested spatially restricted diffusion.
