[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations and diagnostic value in patients with choroidal fissure cyst in the brain.Materials and Methods: MRI appearance and clinical data of 28 patients with choroidal fissure cyst were analyzed retrospectively.Results: All of the 28 choroidal fissure cysts were shown in axial, sagittal and coronal planes explicitly, but best displayed in coronal plane 24 (85.71%) of them were seen in the right hemisphere, with a significant higher frequency than the left hemisphere (P<0.05). The cysts were situated within the choroidal fissure in all cases, and all cases were single, with clear boundary, no associated edema, and showed no enhancement in Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI scan.Conclusions: MRI has characteristics of multi-parameter, multi-sequence imaging, not only can confirm the diagnosis of choroidal fissure cyst but also can differentiate the choroidal fissure cyst from other cystic lesions.
