Intracerebral epithelial cyst: immunohistological diagnosis and endoneurosurgical treatment

Br J Neurosurg. 1989;3(4):507-12. doi: 10.3109/02688698909002838.

Abstract

This report details an additional case of the very rare instance of a respiratory epithelium-lined intracerebral cyst without communication with the ventricular system. Immunohistologic analysis supports an epithelial rather than neuroectodermal origin. Management using endoneurosurgical techniques is described.
