Abstract:
Glial cysts of the pineal gland are usually benign and asymptomatic. They develop from the pineal parenchyma and contain liquid. The diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance imaging. In contrast large cysts can be symptomatic due to compression of the aqueduct of Sylvius, compression of the midbrain tectum or mass effect in the posterior fossa. We report the case of a symptomatic cyst treated by an endoscopic procedure.
