Hippocampal Sulcus Remnant

Hippocampal sulcus remnants are cystic structures medial to the temporal horns of lateral ventricles between the cornu ammonis and the dentate gyrus. These are incidental findings that represent remnants of the vestigial primary embryonic hippocampal sulcus. They are found in about 40% of the population and have a higher incidence in older patients.
