differential diagnosis of intracranial cysts in the perinatal period

Intracranial cystic lesions in the perinatal period can carry a relatively wide differential which includes:

Supratentorial cystic lesions

• cysts
  • arachnoid cyst
  • choroid plexus cyst
  • connatal cyst
  • holoprosencephaly
  • multicystic encephalomalacia
  • periventricular leukomalacia
  • porencephalic cyst
  • subependymal cyst
• cystic-like lesions
  • ventriculomegaly from
    • extreme hydrocephalus: fetal hydrocephalus
    • premature atrophy
  • cavum septum pellucidum
  • cavum veli interpositi
  • cavum vergae
  • large schizencephalic cleft

Infratentorial / posterior fossa lesions

• arachnoid cyst
• Blake pouch cyst
• Dandy Walker continuum
• mega cisterna magna
• vermian-cerebellar hypoplasia
