| Popis: |
We report a rare case of symptomatic pineal cyst detected by magnetic resonance imaging. This patient presented with intermittent headache and gaze paresis. Subtotal resection of the pineal cyst was performed by the occipital transtentorial approach. It was proved histologically that the surgical specimen was composed of reactive glial tissue and normal tissue of the pineal gland with calcification. The procedure completely relieved the patient of refractory symptoms. Surgical management should be considered as an option to treat this rare lesion. |
