Two cases of glial cyst of the pineal gland are documented. Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed cystic lesions of the pineal region with contrast enhancement of the walls, suggesting neoplastic lesions rather than true cysts. However, the histopathological examination of the resected specimens revealed the presence of glial tissue and normal structure of pineal gland and capsule, characteristics that were consistent with those of glial cysts of the pineal gland. Headache and visual disturbance were resolved after total removal of the cysts.
记录了两例松果体胶质囊肿病例。术前计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像显示松果体区囊性病变,囊壁有强化,提示为肿瘤性病变而非真正的囊肿。然而,切除标本的组织病理学检查显示存在胶质组织以及松果体和被膜的正常结构,这些特征与松果体胶质囊肿相符。囊肿完全切除后,头痛和视觉障碍得以缓解。
