1. Al-Holou, W. N., Terman, S. W., Kilburg, C., Garton, H. J. L., Muraszko, K. M., Chandler, W. F., Ibrahim, M., et al. (2011). Prevalence and natural history of pineal cysts in adults. J Neurosurg 2011;6:1106-14. doi:10.3171/2011.6.JNS11506
Pineal cysts measuring 5 mm or larger in greatest dimension were found in 478/48,417 patients (1.0%). Follow up imaging was present in 151 patients for greater than 3 years. The authors conclude that follow-up imaging and neurosurgical evaluation are not mandatory for adults with asymptomatic pineal cysts.

Also, at this point in time (fourth week), the diagnosis will … Continue reading >>

The Portal comprises four sections: “Articles You Should Read,” where we have collated a list of articles from a range of journals that we believe neuroradiology fellows should read; “Submit Your Case Report,” which provides a list of journals that routinely accept articles based on small series, pictorial essays, … Continue reading >>
