Pineal epidermoid cyst

The pineal localization is a very rare form of this intracranial lesion. It represents 0,2-1% of all intracranial tumors.  Cushing was the first to report the pineal localization of the epidermoid cyst in 1928. The clinical presentation is often characterized by parinaud’s syndrome and hydrocephalus. Hemiparesis and cerebellar signs can also be noticed
