MRI of the brain shows a well-defined, intra-axial, solid-cystic mass in the left thalamo-capsular region. The solid component is isointense on T1 and T2 weighted images with heterogeneous post-contrast enhancement. The cystic component follows fluid-signal intensity in all sequences with no post contrast enhancement.
