Descrição

Neuroepithelial cysts, heterogeneous group of lesions, are fluid collections similar to CSF, lined by epithelial cells, frequently found in the lateral ventricles and choroidal fissure; intraparenchymal cysts are relatively uncommon. We report CT and MRI imaging findings of four intraparenchymal neuroepithelial cysts, two of which have histological confirmation of the diagnosis.
