Ependymal lined paraventricular cerebral cysts; a report of three cases

Cerebellopontine Angle Arachnoid Cyst Harbouring Ectopic Neuroglia

“…The ependymal cysts can be located throughout the neuraxis with predominant adjacency to the ventricular system or in the subarachnoid space [26,27,28,29,30]. …”

Intracerebral arachnoidal cyst containing choroid plexus

“…Bouch et al 7 and Jakubiak et al tl, basing their opinion on the independence of the cysts and their linings of ependymal or arachnoidal epithelium, thought that the primary cysts are disturbances of embryological development. In our case there was no continuity between the ventricular choroid plexus and the plexus of the cyst, and we think that its origin was in a malformation.…”

Case Report: Postmortem Incidental Ependymal Cyst Opened to the Extracranial Area

“…In the older literature when the imaging techniques were not widely used, we see that many cases were admitted to health institutions with various complaints got different diagnosis, but later ependymal cyst were detected in the autopsy [7,8]. In current publications, the brain cyst cases that can be diagnosed with imaging methods and pathology have been presented, differential diagnosis of the cysts and treatment methods have been discussed [3,9,-12].It was stated in a study that the frontal region cysts were presented with headache and weakness in 3 female patients aged 52-60-64 [7], and it was also stated in another study that the ependymal cyst in the left parietal lobe caused seizure and left 6th nerve paresis in a 74-year-old female patient [8].…”

“…Common clinical presentation occurs with seizure, syncope and headache. It was reported that neurological deficits such as hemiparesis, hemihypoesthesia, hemianopia, ataxia, memory or personality changes, confusion, drowsiness, headache, mental disorders could be seen as more rare findings [4][5][6][7].…”

It was reported that the ependymal cyst in the parietotemporal region presented with macrocephaly in a three-month baby [5], the cyst settled in front parietal caused left weakness and headache in a 20-year-old male patient [2], and a 42-year-old male patient with ependymal cyst in the occipital region had headaches and seizures [4].…”
