Abstract
The case of a 40-year-old woman with a mature cystic teratoma in the lateral ventricle is reported. An unusual mobile sediment of radiopaque material in the cyst was identified as grains of calcium carbonate. It was considered to have precipitated from the cystic fluid under specific chemical conditions.
