Abstract

Arachnoid cysts are formations, which contain liquid, located between arachnoid and pia mater, or formed by the duplication of arachnoid membrane. Intracranial arachnoid cysts are frequently seen; however, spinal arachnoid cysts are rare. Twelve-years-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with the complaints of back pain, tingling and pain in lower extremities, and inability to walk preceeded by falling onto ground. Neurologic examination revealed spastic paraparesis. Thoracal MRI study showed intramedullar arachnoid cyst located at T2-T4 levels. The patient went through surgical resection and her findings disappeared on 25th day of admission. Complete recovery was observed at 3rd month after the surgery. In post-traumatic arachnoid cysts, early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention may result in recovery of neurological findings as in our case.

Özet

Araknoid kistler, araknoid ile pia mater arasında ya da araknoid membranm duplikasyonu ile oluşan sıvı dolu kistlerdir. Intrakranial lokalizasyonda çok sık rastlanmakla birlikte spinal araknoid kistler nadirdir. İdyopatik, posttravmatik ve araknoidit sonrası olabilir. Oniki yaşında kız olgu, 1 hafta önce düşme sonrası sırt ağrısı, bacaklarda uyuşma ve ağrı, yürüyememe yakmmalarıyla başvurdu. Nörolojik bakıda spastik paraparezi saptandı. Torakal MR incelemede; T2-T4 düzeyleri arasında intramedüller yerleşimli, araknid kist ile uyumlu lezyon tesbit edildi. Beyin cerrahisi tarafından öpere edilen olgu, operasyon sonrası 25. günde nörolojik bulgularda gerileme ile taburcu edildi. Operasyon sonrası 3. ayda tam iyileşme gözlendi. Bu olgudaki gibi; spinal araknoid kistlerin posttravmatik kompresyonlarda erken tanısı, uygun cerrahi tedavi ile nörolojik semptomların düzelmesine yol açmaktadır.
