Abstract
Developmental cysts lined by neuroepithelium are a distinctive form of [human] neural tube dysgenesis. Neuropathological study of a 4th ventricular cyst that caused symptomatic hydrocephalus indicated its neuroepithelial origin. The cyst arose from the ventral surface of the cerebellar vermis. Evagination of the rhombencephalic roof and entrapment of a ventricular diverticulum beneath the cerebellar anlagen was proposed as a mechanism responsible for the extraordinary occurrence of neuroepithelial cysts within the 4th ventricle.Keywords
