Multinodular and Vacuolating Posterior Fossa Lesions of Unknown Significance (MV PLUS) are benign cystic lesions that, though typically asymptomatic, can present with neurological symptoms such as seizures, headaches, and syncope. These lesions are predominantly found in sub-tentorial brain structures but can also appear in supratentorial areas. MRI is crucial in detecting these lesions, characterized by small nodules with high intensity on T2-FLAIR sequences. Despite increasing awareness, the pathophysiology and classification of MV PLUS lesions remain unclear, necessitating further research and careful monitoring.
