title: Pigmented intracerebral neuroepithelial cyst: report of a case.
abstract: A 35-year-old man with seizure disorder was found to have a parietal lobe neuroepithelial cyst. The lining of the cyst was made up of ependymal cells containing neuromelanin, which was confirmed ultrastructurally. This appears to be the first report of a pigmented neuroepithelial cyst in the brain parenchyma.
