Intracerebral cysts and cystic appearing intracerebral masses are common findings at routine cerebral imaging examination. We discuss here the most interesting aspects of some intracerebral cysts encountered in medical practice in terms of imaging, clinical and pathological description, and problems of differential diagnosis. On an almost routine basis, the neurologists have to deal with such differentials. Therefore, we aim to mention here some of the frequently encountered diagnosis problems when a patient presents with a cystic cerebral mass.

Cranioplasty to restore calvarial defects involves reconstruction with alloplastic materials or autologous tissues in order to provide the best protection to all intracranial contents. Sometimes, autologous bone may not be available; therefore, different materials have emerged such as polymethylmethacrylate plate, titanium mesh, and hydroxyapatite. However, when it is impossible to replace the autologous bone, the aesthetic result is generally unsatisfactory.

Background: Our aim was to determine whether the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient is able to predict the presence of a symptomatic pineal cyst by detecting cerebral edema.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed MRIs of 45 patients with pineal cysts before and after resection and 51 patients without pineal cysts, comparing ADC values of thalamus, central, periventricular and subcortical white matter. Furthermore we evaluated cyst size and morphology and analyzed its correlation to ADC values in corresponding patients.
