OBJECTIVE
Arachnoid cysts may occasionally be associated with subdural hygromas. The management of these concurrent findings is controversial.
METHODS
The authors reviewed their experience with arachnoid cysts and identified 8 patients with intracranial arachnoid cysts and an associated subdural
A 15-year-old boy presented with a case of middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst associated with subdural effusion and manifesting as headache and vomiting after minor head injury. Computed tomography disclosed a cystic lesion in the left middle cranial fossa and ipsilateral subdural effusion.
A 49-year-old male was hospitalized with a 1-month history of persistent headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) revealed left middle fossa arachnoid cysts and a chronic subdural hygroma. The cysts were excised after evacuation of the subdural hygroma. Postoperatively, the patient did not
Primary sarcomas of the CNS are rare and are sometimes associated with chronic subdural effusion (SDE). Approximately 10 patients with such presentations have been reported. The authors report the case of a 5-year-old boy with multiple subdural masses and SDE. An SDE had been diagnosed when the
Atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation has been an effective and appealing method for inducing fusion of the C1-C2 complex. This technique is usually performed with Gallie fusion. In performing Gallie fusion using sublaminar wiring, a major concern is the risk of dural tear BACKGROUND
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has overtaken the use of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt for the treatment of congenital hydrocephalus. Although ETV is relatively safe, several postoperative complications have been reported. One of the least described and understood complications is
In the analysed material of 55 cases of subdural hygroma in children the authors found that the hygroma was most frequently a complication of inflammatory conditions of the central nervous system and diarrhoea. The analysis showed that recurrent vomiting, febrile states, failure to thrive should be
Supratentorial subdural effusion is common after infection and trauma, but rarely occurs in the posterior fossa, and is even less commonly unilateral. The authors report a rare case of unilateral traumatic posterior fossa subdural effusion with secondary hydrocephalus. A 6-month-old female infant
Nineteen patients with traumatic subdural hygroma (TSH) who were admitted between 1988 and 1992, were reviewed. Diagnosis of TSH was made by serial computerized tomography (CT) after initial head injury, and patients were followed for up to 19 months after head injury. The patients ranged in age
BACKGROUND
Subdural hygromas after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) have been occasionally found in patients with persisting headache and vomiting. We assessed the incidence of subdural hygromas after BMT and tried to define possible risk factors associated with this complication.

The authors reported a case of subdural effusion secondary to dural metastasis of prostatic cancer. A 61-year-old man was referred for headache, vomiting and gait disturbance. He had undergone hormonal therapy for prostatic cancer. He showed a mild left hemiparesis and anemia without bleeding.
BACKGROUND
Foramen magnum decompression (FMD) is the standard procedure for Chiari I malformation. Although seemingly a straightforward procedure, recent articles have reported an increase in various complications. We describe a rare complication of coexistent supratentorial and infratentorial
Arachnoid cysts(AC)are benign cystic lesions often diagnosed in childhood. Although usually asymptomatic, AC can become symptomatic when the lesion size increases or coexists with a subdural hygroma or hematoma. AC patients with signs of increasing intracranial pressure(IICP)or neurological deficits
