title: Symptomatic glial cysts of the pineal gland.
abstract: Two cases of symptomatic glial cysts of the pineal gland are reported. An origin similar to that proposed for paraventricular glial cysts of the brain is accepted. These unusual lesions could be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic pineal masses.
