Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated an approximately 1.5 cm diameter pineal cyst in the quadrigeminal cistern causing significant compression of the underlying superior colliculus and inferior colliculus of the midbrain (Fig. 1).
Postoperative axial computed tomography scan following autologous adipose tissue graft repair, demonstrates fat in the intraparenchymal space of the occipital lobe as well as in the ventricular system.
