Question

Dizziness and Headaches Lead to an MRI Request

For comparison, on the right is a normal image. And on the left, follow the arrows…

What is this part of the brain called and what do you see there?

ANSWER

It is the pineal gland, which is cystic.
There is no compression of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways, no upstream dilation, and no hydrocephalus.

This finding does not really explain the symptoms… it is more of an incidental finding!
