All four patients presented initially with hydrocephalus, which supports the notion that spinal leptomeningealcysts have migrated from an intracranial site of origin.
1
A patient with a large, long-standing posterior fossa arachnoidcyst was evaluated.
2
CT showed a right-sided middle cranial fossa arachnoidcyst in each patient.
3
We tentatively diagnosed the condition as normopressure hydrocephalus with a large supratentorial arachnoidcyst.
4
A case of extradural haematoma as the presenting feature of an arachnoidcyst is described.
5
In both children the late postoperative period was complicated by peripheral facial nerve palsies contralateral to the arachnoidcyst.
1
Conclusion: We report on a rare case of recurrent symptomatic hemiparkinsonism resulting from arachnoidcysts.
2
A possible pathogenetic mechanism is proposed and the treatment of asymptomatic arachnoidcysts is discussed.
3
The majority of arachnoidcysts remain stable and asymptomatic and do not require intervention in the pediatric population.
4
Background: It is not difficult to find localized skull ballooning or macrocrania in patients with intracranial arachnoidcysts.
5
Objective: This study aims to investigate whether intracranial arachnoidcysts (AC) compromise neurocognitive function and psychological profiles in pediatric patients, depending on various clinical factors.
