Abstract
Background: Various intracranial cystic lesions were evaluated and their imaging appearances have been described, classified the cystic lesions into five groups like post infective/ inflammatory, developmental/ congenital, post traumatic/vascular, neoplastic etiology and normal variants. Histopathological examinations of lesions were studied in few operated cases. Material and Methods: 50 patients referred to radiology department suspected to have intracranial signs and symptoms were studied for a period of two years from January 2013 to December 2014 .Patient age group ranging from 5-65 years were subjected to MRI scan using standard intracranial protocols.
