ABSTRACTVirchow–Robin spaces (VRS) are ubiquitous and commonly observed as the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) continues to improve. The function of VRS and the etiology of their dilation is still a subject of research. Diagnosing dilated VRS (dVRS) can be challenging because they may appear similar to other pathologies such as cystic neoplasms, infectious cysts, and even arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) on certain MRI pulse sequences. We reported a unique case of brainstem dVRS mimicking an AVM. Furthermore, the extensive pontine involvement of our patient’s lesion is rarely described in neurosurgical literature. Understanding the imaging characteristics of dVRS is critical to accurately diagnose these lesions and avoid unnecessary tests and procedures.

✓ The authors recently encountered a unique case of anterior third ventricular neurocysticercosis in which the cyst exhibited an unusually high signal on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The lesion's signal intensity and location made differentiation from colloid cyst difficult. Intraventricular neurocysticercosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a colloid cyst.

✓ This report describes two cases of a mucinous cyst (Rathke's cleft cyst) in the pituitary stalk: the first was found in a 29-year-old woman 5 years following pregnancy and the second in a 30-year-old woman 6 years after pregnancy. The presenting symptoms are analyzed and the diagnosis is discussed, with emphasis on the role of magnetic resonance imaging.
