Welcome to health care magic.
1.The report suggest there is a cystic area with in the brain parenchyma side not mentioned.
2.The lesion seen causing mass effect on the lateral ventricle / ventricular dilatation.
3.In this case it needs further evaluation with the contrast study with MRI.
4.MRI with contrast will give most narrow diagnosis - weather any mass lesion, cystic area , infective aetiology.
5.Rest of the brain and paranasal sinuses according to the study appears normal.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
