 There is a small cystic lesion involving the pineal gland which measures 5 x 8 x 4 mm. There is smooth enhancement involving the dependent aspect of the gland posteriorly. There is susceptibility effect which may be related to mineralization.There is a tiny left parietal developmental venous anomaly. Brain parenchyma is otherwise unremarkable without evidence of intracranial mass or mass effect. No evidence of infarct or hemorrhage. No hydrocephalus. No extra-axial collections. Bone marrow signal and extracranial soft tissues are unremarkable.
Small cystic lesion involving the pineal gland described above statistically likely represents a pineal cyst. No significant associated mass effect. Comparison can be made to prior imaging if made available. Brain parenchyma is otherwise within normal limits with small left parietal developmental venous anomaly again noted.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
