title: [Intracerebral cysts revealed by extrapyramidal symptoms].
abstract: We report 3 cases of intracerebral cyst revealed by an unusual evolution of extrapyramidal symptoms. Diagnosis was based on MRI and the patients were treated by a cystoperitoneal or a cysto-atrial shunt. The surgical procedure was successful in the 3 cases, resulting in the rapid disappearance of symptoms.
