Abstract

Because of the presence of adipose tissue, the major dif- ferential diagnosis was teratoma; however, this was also ob- served in 5 of the previously reported cases.2,6,8-10 Gyure et al.6 suggested that the adipose tissue was simply an admixture of soft tissue around the IEGH, but Nishio et al.8 interpreted this tissue as embryonic ectomesenchymal elements (derivatives of the neural crest) that matured after aberrant migration during the formation of the neural tube. If the outpouching theory is applicable in our case, outpouching should occur from multiple brain vesicles, including telencephalic and metencephalic vesicles (cerebellar primordium), at the secondary 5-vesicle stage, or from the neu- ral tube stage just before the primary 3-vesicle stage, and then differentiate into telencephalic and metencephalic brain tissues. [...]glioependymal cysts can also originate from the cen- tral canal (future ventricles) of the brain vesicles.
