Symptomatic Change of an Intracranial Neuroepithelial Cyst 7 Years After Its Incidental Finding

A natural course of asymptomatic neuroepithelial cysts (NECs) is poorly understood due to its rarity. Herein we report a 23-year-old female patient of an asymptomatic NEC which grew in size from 1 cm to 5 cm and caused progressive symptoms seven years after its incidental finding. Partial resection...

description A natural course of asymptomatic neuroepithelial cysts (NECs) is poorly understood due to its rarity. Herein we report a 23-year-old female patient of an asymptomatic NEC which grew in size from 1 cm to 5 cm and caused progressive symptoms seven years after its incidental finding. Partial resection of the cyst was performed for decompression and pathological examination and effectively achieved symptoms alleviation and regression of the cyst. Our case showed the importance of regular follow-up because NECs may show symptomatic change even in the late phase.
