Two cases of post-traumatic extradural hematoma complicating an arachnoid cyst of the middle cranial fossa in children are described. While subdural and intracystic hemorrhages are well-known complications from this malformation, the association with extradural hematoma has never been previously reported in the literature. The pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed and the particular vulnerability of intracranial arachnoid cysts is stressed. 相似文献

The results of a prospective study on excision of the outer and inner membrane for symptomatic primary middle fossa arachnoid cysts in children are presented. During the period 1982–1989, among 48 cases of cyst in various locations, 18 symptomatic patients were treated by excision of both the outer and inner membranes with an opening to the basal cistern. The mean patient age was 3.2 years. All patients were evaluated by examinations, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray computed tomography (CT), quantitative CT cisternography (CTC), digital substraction angiography (DSA), N-isopropyl-p[123]iodoamphetamine single-photon emission CT (IMP-SPECT) and IQ. All showed abnormal cerebrospinal fluid flow dynamics. Significant complications included massive subdural effusion in two patients and transient pulmonary edema in one. There were no recurrences during the follow-up period (mean 4.7 years). Two morphological types were noted: type I, the classical anteromedial type where the cysts are attached directly to the adjacent parasellar cisterns, and type II, the anterolateral type, where the diagonally concave anterior temporal lobe covers the adjacent cisterns, making wide opening difficult. Type I accounted for 78% of all cases, and the reduction of the cyst volume with clinical improvement was remarkable within 6 months after surgery. Angiographically, 22% of cases showed tapering and retrograde filling of the superficial middle cerebral vein. This pattern is not included in Hacker's normal variations [18] and suggest mild but chronic compression of the developing brain. Even in patients with hemispheric cyst, the reconstituted brain showed sufficient cerebral perfusion on SPECT, suggesting that the nature of this disease entity is reversible developmental arrest. These results confirm that excision is a safe, effective shunt-independent procedure for middle-fossa arachnoid cysts, especially for those of type I. 相似文献

ObjectiveThe optimal management for middle fossa arachnoid cysts (MFAC) remains controversial, but cystocistern fenestration is effective. MFACs are divided into non-communicating arachnoid cysts (NCIAC) and communicating arachnoid cysts (CIAC). This retrospective observational study evaluated the role of phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) in the diagnosis and postoperative evaluation of MFACs and assessed surgical outcomes. MethodsTwenty-eight children with MFAC that were diagnosed by conventional neuroradiology were enrolled. PC-MRI was performed preoperatively. The clinical manifestations, cyst volumes and PC-MRI data were analyzed, and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the fistula was qualitatively evaluated. ResultsNo communication with the adjacent subarachnoid space was found on preoperative PC-MRI in 20 patients, and they were diagnosed with NCIAC. A statistically significant decrease in cyst volume was observed in all 20 patients postoperatively. Symptoms resolved or improved in the 14 patients who were symptomatic preoperatively, and a positive CSF flow was found in all 20 patients postoperatively. PC-MRI diagnosed eight patients with CIAC, and the cyst sizes did not increase during follow-up. ConclusionsCystocistern fenestration is an effective treatment for children with lateral fissure IAC. PC-MRI can be used to determine the IAC type and to evaluate the effectiveness of cystocistern fenestration. 相似文献

A case of arachnoid cyst in the middle cranial fossa complicated by intraoperative subdural hemorrhage is presented. Accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outside the outer wall of the arachnoid cyst was found to induce the rupture of well-developed, fragile leptomeningeal vessels at the base of the middle cranial fossa. This phenomenon is noteworthy as a pitfall in surgery for intracranial arachnoid cyst and suggest the bleeding source of subdural hematoma occasionally associated with this lesion. 相似文献

The progression of congenital arachnoid cysts has seldom been documented. We report the case of a child who was diagnosed
with arrested hydrocephalus at the age of 13 months. Neuroimaging studies performed when the girl was 22 months old showed
the appearance of an arachnoid cyst in the right middle fossa, while the previously enlarged ventricles seemed to have decreased
in size. To the best of our knowledge, the paradoxical expansion of an arachnoid pouch following a reduction in the size of
the ventricular system has not previously been documented. We advance the hypothesis that the development of some cases of
arachnoid cyst might be pathogenically related to impaired CSF dynamics associated with pre-existing hydrocephalus. We also
briefly review the pertinent literature on the formation and evolution of congenital cerebral arachnoid cysts.

A case of transient global amnesia associated with an arachnoid cyst occupying the middle cranial fossa of the non dominant
hemisphere is reported. The relationship between the two conditions is discussed and the value of CT brain scanning in patients
with TGA emphasized.

We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with an enlarging suboccipital mass, a posttraumatic intraosseous arachnoid cyst.
Diagnostic work-up revealed that the lesion consisted of an intradiploic arachnoid cyst and an extra-axial occipital pouch
that communicated by way of an osseous and dural defect. Surgical repair was undertaken with good results. A search of the
current literature has shown only seven previous reports of leptomeningeal cysts situated at the occipital bones, most of
them the result of an antecedent skull fracture. A pathogenetic hypothesis is presented comparing the growth of arachnoid
intraosseous cysts and the development of meningocencephaloceles.

Abstract:Objective o investigate the clinical characteristics of middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst (MCFAC) and its therapeutic effects with different surgical methods. Methods Three hundred and fifty-two patients with MCFAC (about 2.58% of patients with intracranial space occupying lesion),admitted to our hospital from May 2001 to May 2008, were chosen in out study; their clinical data,surgical approach and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. The gender ratio of patient with MCFAC adopted resection of arachnoid cyst and arachnoid cyst-peritoneal shunt was performed in 28 patients.Results Follow-up was performed for 3 months to 3 years. The headache completely disappeared in 75 patients (58.59%) and partial remission in 41 (32.03%) after the operation. The frequency and degree of seizures obviously decreased in 8 of the patients with MCFIAC. Eleven patients with dystropy,attention-deficit disorder or difficulty of learning got improvement. The head circumference and local skull eminentia was stable. The cyst disappeared completely in 46 patients (13.07%), partially in 257 (73.01%) and no changes in 49 (13.92%). Conclusion The clinical features of MCFAC is that it mainly occur in the left side of male. The younger the patient with MCFAC is, the better the treatment effect in the surgical intervention is. good outcome can be achieved by resection of the parietal layer of arachnoid cysts. The indication of shunt with meso-low pressure shunt system is for larger arachnoid cyst. 相似文献

Objective: Spinal arachnoid cysts are a known cause of spinal cord compression. When symptomatic, treatment of choice entails laminectomies over the length of the cyst in order to achieve complete cyst removal and fenestration. Methods: A 60-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of progressive pain between the shoulder blades, exacerbated by sitting up or standing, and relieved by lying supine. MRI imaging revealed a T3–T7 dorsal intradural arachnoid cyst. Due to extant spinal deformity and medical comorbidity, the decision was made to proceed with selective laminoplasties at the superior and inferior limits of the cyst. Results: After the dura was opened to reveal the margins, the cyst was sharply fenestrated and drained. Irrigation was passed through the cyst to ensure open communication, and a lumbar drain catheter was passed from the inferior to superior margin. The catheter was removed before closure. Postoperatively, MRI of the thoracic spine revealed decompression of the spinal cord and the patient noticed improvement in her symptoms. At 7-month follow-up, the patient remained free of symptoms and MRI demonstrated near-complete resolution of the cyst. Conclusion: Although open exposure and complete resection are considered the treatment of choice for spinal arachnoid cysts, cyst fenestration through selective bony windows at the margins of the cyst represents a viable, less invasive alternative approach to effective cyst decompression, and can be considered in patients in whom a full exposure would be prohibitive. 相似文献

Twenty-seven patients with CT-scan-diagnosed arachnoid cysts in the middle cranial fossa were studied. Five (18%) presented with progressive symptoms related to raised intracranial pressure which had developed after minor trauma and secondary bleeding, 12 (44%) presented with non-progressive symptoms, and 10 (37%) exhibited neurological syndromes not referable to the cyst. Among those with non-progressive symptoms, epilepsy was the most common presentation (67%). More than 60% of the cysts were small and limited to the anterior temporal region or to the Sylvian fissure, the remaining cysts involved both the anterior temporal region and the Sylvian fissure, and expanded to the adjacent fronto-temporal or fronto-parietal regions. The volume measurements of the brain tissue performed on CT scan revealed that between the volume of the two hemispheres there was no significant difference suggesting any evidence of agenesis or hypoplasia of the affected temporal lobe. 相似文献

Although the possibility of spontaneous regression of intracranial arachnoid cysts (AC) during observational follow-up is widely recognized, the number of reports documenting such clinical course, often associated with the mild head trauma, is rather limited. We present a case of nearly complete resolution of the large middle fossa AC in a 5-year-old boy without any identifiable cause in 2.3 years after the initial diagnosis. It once again justifies observational strategy for AC not accompanying by mass effect and manifesting with minimal symptoms or diagnosed incidentally. 相似文献

The best operative intervention for children with arachnoid cysts remains the subject of controversy. Recent reports stress
that craniotomy for cyst fenestration is associated with a low incidence of morbidity and mortality and may leave the child
shunt-independent. Among a total of 66 intracranial arachnoid cysts operated on in the authors’ department from 1985 to 1997,
44 cases (67%) were located in the middle cranial fossa. A higher incidence in the first decade of life (53 cases) and a marked
male predominance (45 cases) were recognized. Headache, cranial deformities, symptoms of raised intracranial pressure, and
seizures constituted the most frequent features of the clinical presentation. To determine which treatment provides the greatest
benefit with the lowest incidence of complications, the records of the 44 patients with arachnoid cysts in the middle cranial
fossa were reviewed. The mean age of these patients was 4.6 years (range 0–16 years). Different types of initial surgical
procedures were performed. In 33 patients with middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts (MCFAC) the initial surgery took the form
of craniotomy with excision of the cyst walls and fenestration into the basal cisterns. Shunting procedures were performed
in 9 patients: cysto-peritoneal shunts (CPS) were placed in 4 patients and ventriculo-peritoneal shunts (VPS), in 3 patients,
and cyst excision was performed in addition to CPS in 2 patients. Excision of the cyst membrane alone without fenestration
was performed in 2 patients. The initial treatment was successful in terms of reduced symptoms and decreased cyst size, with
no additional treatment needed for the cyst, in 79% (26/33) of patients who had undergone excision of the cyst walls and fenestration
into the basal cisterns, compared with 66% (6/9) of patients who had undergone shunting procedures. Cyst membrane excision
was not successful in any of the patients who underwent this procedure alone. No significant difference in morbidity was noted
between these different treatment options. On follow-up CT scan and MRI, cysts of types I and II (Galassi classification)
exhibited a steady tendency to reduction or obliteration. These results confirm that radical excision of the outer and inner
membranes of the cyst wall with fenestration into the basal cistern is a safe and effective shunt-independent procedure for
MCFAC, especially for those of types I and II.

Serious complications following installation of a cyst-peritoneal shunt in an 8-year-old boy with asymptomatic arachnoid cyst in the middle cranial fossa are reported. Highly elevated intracranial pressure without association of ventriculomegaly seen in this patient indicates slit ventricle syndrome caused by malfunction of the cyst-peritoneal shunt. This phenomenon is worth recognizing as a possible consequence of cyst-peritoneal shunting for the treatment of intracranial arachnoid cyst. 相似文献

The etiology and mechanism of expansion of primary intracranial arachnoid cysts have been much debated. A rare case of an 8-month-old boy is reported, in which postnatal development and enlargement of a middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst was detected on follow-up CT scans. Based on intraoperative and histological findings, the cyst was found to be intra-arachnoid. The wall was excised completely, and the lobe adjacent to the cyst appeared normal apart from signs of atrophy. Histological study of the excised cyst revealed a common arachnoid membrane with neither ependymal nor inflammatory cells; the cyst fluid was similar to CSF. The etiology of the lesion remains unclear, but it was considered that the expansion of the cyst might have occurred through a ball-valve mechanism of the membrane in communication with the general subarachnoid space. 相似文献

A case of middle fossa arachnoid cyst is presented, which disappeared after head injury. Five days after the trauma, CT scan revealed subdural fluid collection in addition to an arachnoid cyst in the middle fossa on the same side. As the subdural fluid resorbed, the cyst became smaller and disappeared on the follow-up CT scans without surgical intervention. 相似文献
