Abstract
The incidental ultrasonographic detection of an asymptomatic cystic pineal lesion in a young woman is described and compared with findings on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Follow-up studies obtained using both imaging modalities are presented. The results indicate that transcranial ultrasonography may represent an easy and cost-effective imaging technique for follow up of cystic lesions of the pineal gland, especially in patients unable to undergo MR imaging.
