Term of the day: Blake`s Pouch Cyst

Blake described a posterior evagination of the tela choroidea developing as a posterior expansion of the fourth ventricle in a normal 13 day old human embryo. This evagination represented a normal developmental stage and was associated with a normal vermis and had no communication with the perimedullary spaces. 

 The persistent Blake`s Pouch Cyst is a cystic malformation of the posterior fossa thought to derive from persistence and expansion of the normally transient Blake`pouch that arises from the area membranacea inferior (AMI) and that normally regresses during the fifth to eighth gestational weeks.  BPC represents a posterior balloning of the superior medullary vellum into the cisterna magna.
