T2-weighted MRI showed a thin-walled, multiloculated cyst in the pineal region, that did not demonstrate interval growth over a period of three years.
Case Discussion
Pineal cysts are common and when typical in appearance they require no follow-up. Larger cysts or those with atypical features (such as this one) may need to be followed up to ensure they do not represent cystic pineal neoplasms (e.g. pineocytoma).
