“…The variable symptoms of interhemispheric cyst associated with corpus callosum agenesis are reported, however, most reported patients were children. Only a few adult cases of interhemispheric cyst associated with corpus callosum agenesis has been reported [1][2][3][4] . Zingesser et al reported incidentally diagnosed post-traumatic patients as inter-hemispheric arachnoid cyst, however autopsy pathological findings demonstrated cyst wall was formed by astrocytes and glial tissue [1] , so this cyst was neuroepithelial cyst, not arachnoid cyst.…”

INTRODUCTION: Most reported cases of interhemispheric cyst associated with corpus callosum agenesis are child. We report adult case of these anomalies who is working in usual social life. CASE REPORT: Thirty-eight-year-old man visited our hospital complaining with dull headache. Brain Computed Tomography showed interhemispheric cyst, corpus callosum agenesis and large sulcus at right cerebral hemisphere. Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed ectopic gray matter and no communication between cyst and ventricles. Intelligence test revealed generally lower Intelligent Quotient. Brain Magnetic Resonance Angiography was normal. DISCUSSION: Only a few adult cases of interhemispheric cyst associated with corpus callosum agenesis has been reported. Radiological findings were resembling with other central nervous system anomalies, such as schizencephaly. Neurologist and neurosurgeon who usually working for adult patients are not familiar with central nervous system anomalies. So adult cases of central nervous system anomalies should be educated and discussed.

“…Various kinds of interhemispheric cysts have been reported and are often associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]. Among these cysts, epithelial cysts, in association with agenesis of the corpus callosum, are rarely reported [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].…”

“…Among these cysts, epithelial cysts, in association with agenesis of the corpus callosum, are rarely reported [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. The histological features of these cysts are varied, being diagnosed with the terminology of ependymal [5, 6], glioependymal [1, 8], choroidal epithelial [4]and neuroepithelial cysts [7]. Thus far, 6 operated cases, including the present case, and 6 nonoperated cases have been reported (table 1, 2).…”

“…A review of the terms employed in the reports discloses a variety of pathologies: 4 epithelial cysts with a lining resembling tela choroidea with choroid plexus tufts [2], 2 ependymal cysts [5, 6], 2 glioependymal cysts [1, 8], 1 choroidal epithelial cyst [4], 1 neuroepithelial cyst containing choroid plexus epithelia [7]and 1 epithelial cyst [3]have been reported when the cyst is lined with a single layer of cuboidal or columnar epithelium, whether or not cells were ciliated. The term glioependymal cyst has been used for those cysts with neuroglial walls and an inner lining of ependyma [15].…”

This report describes a neonatal case in whom a large interhemispheric cyst associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum was revealed by fetal ultrasonography and demonstrated by MRI to be multilobulated. Endoscopic fenestration of cysts was initially designed in view of the development of the patient’s brain and surgical invasiveness. One year later, when motor paresis of the left arm and progressive enlargement of the cyst on MRI were revealed, open surgery was performed. The histological diagnosis was a neuroepithelial cyst with the feature of choroid plexus epithelia. The clinicopathological features of interhemispheric epithelial cysts associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum are reviewed in the light of differential diagnosis and therapeutic considerations.

Colloid cysts are relatively rare benign tumors comprising less than 2% of all intracranial mass lesions. However, since the advent of computed tomography of the head, these tumors are being recognized more frequently, occasionally before their symptomatic presentation. Much controversy remains as to the true cells of origin and pathogenesis of these cysts. Although a neuroepithelial origin has become increasingly accepted, Rathke cleft cysts, ectopic respiratory tissue, and other endodermal sources have been postulated. The first familial occurrence in middle-aged identical twin brothers was cited recently in the literature. Described here are the first reports of symptomatic colloid cysts in two nontwin brothers, lending further support to the potential for genetic expression of neuroepithelial cysts. Also included are preoperative computed axial tomographic images, histopathologic photomicrographs with case descriptions and comparisons, and suggestions to elucidate further the development and presentation of colloid cysts.
