Annotated Bibliography #15

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.
