A 14-year-old girl presented with features of raised intracranial pressure. MRI brain revealed a large, well defined, T2 hyperintense, cystic lesion in the right fronto-parietal region with an imperceptible wall and a small anterior daughter cyst (Fig. 1). There was no significant perilesional oedema or abnormal enhancement. No similar thoracic or abdominal involvement was noted.

Axial T2 (a), FLAIR (b) and DWI (e) show a well-defined cystic lesion in the right fronto-parietal region, isointense to CSF, without perilesional edema and without diffusion restriction. Axial FLAIR (b) image shows small daughter cyst anteriorly (yellow arrow). Sagittal T1 before (c) and after (d) gadolinium administration show no contrast enhancement (color figure online)
