An Unusual Presentation of Glioependymal Cyst Encroaching Neuronal Parenchyma in an Elderly Female: A Case Report

A glioependymal cyst (GEC) is a rare type of cyst that occurs within the brain and spinal cord. A 42-year-old male patient with a cystic lesion in the right frontal lobe was admitted to the hospital to have his headache, vertigo, and body spasms evaluated.

description A glioependymal cyst (GEC) is a rare type of cyst that occurs within the brain and spinal cord. A 42-year-old male patient with a cystic lesion in the right frontal lobe was admitted to the hospital to have his headache, vertigo, and body spasms evaluated. MRI scans showed a mass in the right side of the frontal lobe which caused a mass effect over the lateral ventricle and corpus callosum. The patient became symptom-free after the craniotomy, followed by fenestration of cortices and cyst wall removal.
