Vergi Cyst

Vergi Cysta (1811–1895) was an Italian neurologist and psychiatrist who was one of the first to describe and characterize the septum pellucidum cyst. A cyst of the transparent septum is a benign formation that is located in the area of ​​the transparent septum of the brain.

A septum pellucid cyst can be identified in patients with a variety of neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Some of these may include headache, dizziness, vision and hearing problems, and changes in behavior such as depression, irritability and aggressiveness.

To diagnose a cyst of the septum pellucidum, an MRI of the brain is used, in which it can be seen in the images. Treatment for the cyst may include surgical removal or drug therapy, which can help reduce symptoms.

However, although a septum pellucida cyst usually does not cause serious problems, it can be associated with other brain conditions such as an aneurysm or tumor, so it is important to see a doctor if you notice any unusual symptoms.

Vergi Cista is an Italian neurologist and psychiatrist who was born in Ajaccio in 1827 and lived in Bilbao until 1901. He began his career as a general practitioner and then became a neurologist. Cysta was one of the first female neurologists and psychoanalysts in Europe, opening this path for many women in the field.

In 1876, he published his work describing a very characteristic sign of a cyst - a “cyst of the transparent septum” (a verga inseparabilis), which is characterized by the presence of a formation of soft consistency in the space between the hemispheres of the brain. This term, invented by Kista, has taken root throughout the world and continues to be used to this day.
