Evaluation of pineal cysts with magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 8 Twenty-two years old female patient with atypical pineal cyst (patient No. 50). Axial plane T1 weighted (A) coronal plane FLAIR (B) axial plane diffusion weighted (C) consecutive contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (D, E and F). A, B, C, D, E and F: Atypical pineal cyst or pineocytoma is not distinguished radiologically (white arrows); C: No diffusion restriction; D, E and F: Increasing gradually heterogeneous enhancement is shown in pineal region (white arrows). FLAIR: Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.
