BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pineocytomas have been described as well-
circumscribed, homogeneously enhancing masses. However, there is considerable …

Objectives Pineal lesions can present as a heterogeneous collection of benign and
malignant disease conditions. Pineal lesions include germ cell tumours, neoplasms arising …

Objective The natural history of incidental pineal cysts is poorly understood. Neurosurgeons
and neuroradiologists are more frequently faced with this disease in the advent of higher …

AIM To evaluate radiological imaging findings of patients who had been found to have
pineal cyst (PC) in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS A total of 9546 …

Background Pineal cysts, both simple and complex, are commonly encountered in children.
More cysts are being detected with MR technology; however, nearly all pineal cysts are …

Purpose Pineal cysts are common incidental findings in children undergoing magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). Several studies have suggested MRI follow-up if the cyst is larger …

The pineal gland is important in structure, function and in the pathology that can affect it. The
significance of the pathology of the gland and its adjacent structures is twofold: anatomical …

Introduction Pineal cysts are a common incidental finding on brain MRI with resulting
difficulties in differentiation between normal glands and pineal pathologies. The aim of this …

Object In this paper, the authors' goal was to determine whether benign pineal cysts have
smooth walls or internal structure on high-resolution MR imaging and to evaluate their …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the outcomes of
temporal MRI follow-up of indeterminate cystic lesions of the pineal region. MATERIALS …
