Pineal cyst

Discussion:

This case demonstrates typical appearances of an Incidental pineal cyst, which are found in up to 5% of all MRI brains, and as such pose a problem to deciding which should be followed up. 

In general large size (>10-12mm) or any atypical features warrant followup to ensure that they do not represent a cystic pineal neoplasm (e.g. pineocytoma).
