Arachnoid cyst (CPA) Cystic ("trapped") 4th ventricle

TACs (schwannoma, meningioma)

Nonneoplastic, noninfectious cystic brain lesions are classified by common anatomic locations. The 1st division is extra- vs. intraaxial, then supra- vs.

infratentorial. Extraaxial cysts are further subdivided into midline and off midline lesions. Intraaxial cysts are subdivided into parenchymal and

intraventricular. CPA = cerebellopontine angle; PVSs = perivascular (Virchow-Robin) spaces; TACs = tumor-associated cysts.

Intracranial Cysts by Type, Most Common Location(s)

Cyst Type Common Location(s)

Arachnoid cyst Middle cranial fossa, CPA, suprasellar cistern

Choroid fissure cyst Choroid fissure, between temporal horn and suprasellar cistern

Choroid plexus cyst Choroid plexus glomus

Colloid cyst Interventricular foramen/anterosuperior 3rd ventricle

Connatal cyst(s) Peri- or intraventricular, adjacent to frontal horn, body of lateral ventricle

Dermoid cyst Suprasellar, frontonasal (anteroinferior interhemispheric fissure)

Enlarged PVSs Basal ganglia, midbrain, cerebral white matter, dentate nuclei

Epidermoid cyst CPA

Ependymal cyst Lateral ventricle (atrium most common)

Germinolytic pseudocyst(s) Periventricular, subependymal along caudothalamic groove

Hippocampal sulcus remnants Hippocampus, just medial to lateral ventricle

Leptomeningeal cyst ("growing fracture") Parietal bone

Neurenteric cyst Prepontine at pontomedullary junction

Neuroglial cyst Frontal/temporal subcortical white matter, choroid fissure

Pineal cyst Pineal gland

Porencephalic cyst Cerebral hemispheres, adjacent to lateral ventricles

Rathke cleft cyst Suprasellar, intrasellar

Sebaceous (trichilemmal) cyst Scalp (dermis or subcutaneous tissues)

Tumor-associated cyst Between schwannoma, meningioma, macroadenoma, and brain
