Info

Bilateral thalamic (and some smaller peripheral) metastases. The larger, partly cystic lesion on the right traverses the midline across the 3rd ventricle.

Case Discussion

At least in some people the interthalamic adhesion is not simply an adhesion but a commissure (though not functionally important).
