Magnetic resonance imaging findings in Parinaud's syndrome: comparing pineal mass findings to other etiologies

In a recent study, it was found that, although intrinsic midbrain signal abnormality (IMSA) on MRI is associated with Parinaud's syndrome (PS) in patients with pineal gland masses (PM), it had no predictive value with respect to resolution of PS. We sought to compare the PM and non-pineal etiologies (NPE) of PS by reviewing imaging features of PS and whether or not they are predictive of resolution of symptoms.
