ABSTRACT
Cystic lesions inside the brain parenchyma are a common pathological finding in the investigation of patients with suspicion of cerebral tumor. Histological diagnosis is important to guide the patient's treatment and follow-up, and to determine prognosis. Among patients diagnosed with cerebral cysts, most are located in the parenchyma above the tentorium. The authors describe the case of a patient who had been suffering from dizziness and balance disturbance for 4 months; the investigation identified a cyst inside the cerebellar right hemisphere. A surgical procedure was performed, and the biopsy microscopic analysis diagnosis was glial cyst.
RESUMO
Patologias intraparenquimatosas de características císticas são comumente identificadas em pacientes que estão sob investigação de neoplasias cranianas. Lesões císticas são mais prevalentes acima da tenda cerebelar, e o diagnóstico histológico é fundamental para determinar o tratamento, seguimento e prognóstico do paciente. Os autores relatam o caso de um paciente com sintomas de vertigem e alteração no equilíbrio dinämico de 4 meses de evolução, cuja investigação diagnosticou cisto intraparenquimatoso no hemisfério cerebelar direito. Procedeu-se com intervenção cirúrgica cujo diagnóstico histopatológico foi compatível com Cisto Glial
