✓ A 34-year-old woman presented with progressive loss of vision in her left eye of 2 months' evolution. Computerized tomography showed a hypodense lesion in the suprasellar region. At surgery a cystic lesion was found inside the optic nerve. Histological study proved it to be a neuroepithelial cyst. The pathogenesis of a neuroepithelial cyst in such an exceptional site is discussed.

Development of oligodendrocytes in rat corpus callosum was described as a sequential change in cytoplasmic density which progressed from light to medium to dark (1). In rat optic nerve, changes in cytoplasmic density were not observed, but significant changes in morphology occurred just prior to and during myelination (2). In our study, the ultrastructural development of oligodendrocytes was studied in newborn, 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-day and adult frontal cortex of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus).Young and adult hamster brains were perfused with paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde in sodium cacodylate buffer at pH 7.3 according to the method of Peters (3). Tissue samples of layer V of the frontal cortex were post-fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in acetone and embedded in Epon-Araldite resin.
