Primary intracranial ependymal cysts are extremely rare. These are congenital, benign ependyma lined, commonly intraparenchymal and uncommonly extraparenchymal cysts in leptomeningeal location of variable size seen in the adult life. The authors report two cases of symptomatic ependymal cysts: one in the perimesencephalic cistern in a 10-month-old infant presenting with delayed mile stones and another in the cerebello-pontine cistern in a morbidly obese 35-year-old woman with known benign intracranial hypertension now presenting with hemifacial spasm. Neurosurgical intervention was curative in both cases. Interesting clinical, radiological and histological features are presented and discussed.
原发性颅内室管膜囊肿极为罕见。这些囊肿是先天性的，由室管膜衬里，通常位于脑实质内，罕见位于脑实质外，在软脑膜部位，大小不一，可见于成人。作者报告了两例有症状的室管膜囊肿病例：一例位于中脑周围池，患儿为10个月大婴儿，有发育迟缓表现；另一例位于小脑脑桥池，患者是一名35岁病态肥胖女性，已知患有良性颅内高压，现出现半面痉挛。两例均经神经外科干预治愈。文中呈现并讨论了有趣的临床、放射学和组织学特征。
