Characteristic-appearing pineal cysts in children are benign, incidental findings, for which follow-up is not required if there are no referable symptoms or excessive size.Īl-Holou WN, Hugh JL, Muraszko KM et al (2009) Prevalence of pineal cysts in children and young adults. Pineal cysts are often present in children and can be incidentally detected by 3-T MRI. There was a slight trend toward increasing pineal gland volume with age. Cysts were more commonly encountered in girls than boys (67% vs. There was no significant difference between the ages of children with and without cysts. No cyst wall thickening or nodularity was present. None of the cysts demonstrated complete T2/FLAIR signal suppression. Of these cysts, 24.6% showed thin septations or fluid levels reflecting complexity. Pineal cysts were present in 57% of children, with a mean maximum linear dimension of 4.2 mm (range 1.5–16 mm). Cysts were analyzed for the presence and degree of complexity. Pineal parenchymal and cyst volumes were measured in three planes. We evaluated 3-D volumetric T1-W imaging, axial T2-W imaging, axial T2-W FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery) and coronal STIR (short tau inversion recovery) sequences. We retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive 3-T brain MRIs in children ages 1 month to 17 years (mean 6.8 ± 5.1 years). To discover the prevalence of pineal cysts in children at our institution who have undergone high-resolution 3-T MRI. More cysts are being detected with MR technology however, nearly all pineal cysts are benign and require no follow-up.
