Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pineal cysts are common incidental findings of uncertain etiology, and the potential contribution of genetic factors to their development remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the possibility of a hereditary predisposition to pineal cysts by examining a unique case of identical pineal cysts in a set of monozygotic triplets and by surveying familial occurrence of pineal cysts...
