Evaluation of pineal cysts with magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 2 Thirty-three years old female patient with typical pineal cyst (patient No. 42). A: Axial plane T2 weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); B: T1 weighted MRI; C: Sagittal plane T2 weighted MRI; D: Coronal plane FLAIR MRI. Typical pineal cysts are shown in the pineal region with unilocular homogeneous internal structure (white arrows, A, B, C and D); Isointense cyst with CSF (A, B and C); The slightly hyperintense pineal cyst compared to CSF is shown on FLAIR sequence (D). CSF: Cerebrospinal fluid; FLAIR: Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.
