(From the Pathological Laboratory of the Cornell University Medical College.) Introduction. The pathological conditions resulting in the formation of cysts within the fourth ventricle or a cystic dilatation of the ventricle are as follows: 1. Parasitic: Cysticercus or echinococcus cysts. 2. Cystic degeneration of a tumor. 3. Cystic degeneration of the choroid plexus. 4. Cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle from occlusion of its communications. 5. Congenital cysts. These are of pathological rather than clinical importance because of their rarity and the atypical character of the symptoms produced. Poth cases forming the subject of the present study are examples ot brain tumor in young subjects with congenital cysts of the brain stem projecting into the fourth ventricle.
