BACKGROUND
To describe the clinical presentation of suprasellar cysts (SSCs) and surgical indications, and compare the treatment methods of endoscopic ventriculocystostomy (VC) and ventriculocystocisternotomy (VCC).
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 73 consecutive patients with SSC
Rathke cleft cysts are commonly found on autopsy but are seldom symptomatic. Conventional treatment of these lesions consists of transsphenoidal drainage with partial excision of the cyst, and recurrence is rare. Alternatively, the instillation of absolute alcohol into the cyst has been described in
The authors report the case of a 12-year-old girl with Pallister-Hall syndrome, long-standing refractory, symptomatic epilepsy, mental retardation, and panhypopituitarism in whom two rare, deep midline lesions were detected. She underwent successful transsphenoidal resection of the Rathke cleft cyst
Described are 26 cases of arachnoid cysts. Of these cysts, 54% were in the sylvian cistern, three (1.2%) were in the suprasellar cistern, and the rest were over the cerebral sulci. There were symptoms of seizures at presentation in 30.8%, and in 23% there were symptoms of hydrocephalus and
Two cases of epithelial cyst are reported. Case 1. A 68-year-old female visited our hospital with a complaint of decreased visual acuity, 0.04 in the left eye, in September 1986. Visual field examination showed bitemporal hemianopsia. CT scan demonstrated nonenhancing cystic lesion involving the
The authors report the case of a 2-year-old infant who presented with paroxysm and short changes characterized by acute drowsiness, cold sweats, ocular reversion, facial cyanosis, and bradycardia. Between these attacks, the condition was normal, suggesting diencephalic seizures. Over 2 months five
Rathke's cleft cysts (RCC) are sellar-suprasellar cysts that are usually discovered incidentally given their indolent clinical course. When symptoms do arise, the most common clinical presentation is headache, visual field deficits due to visual pathway compression, diplopia due to cavernous sinus
Surgical indications and modalities in treatment of intracranial arachnoid cysts still remain controversial owing to limited understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms and natural history of this pathology. Current literature favours endoscopic interventions for arachnoid cysts. We
