Abstract

The authors report a case of large arachnoid cysts of the posterior fossa treated by endoscopic surgery. A 40-year-old man was admitted with a 3-month history of headache and progressive gait imbalance, with no significant medical history. At the time of admission, neurological examination revealed no abnormalities except for tandem imbalance. Brain computerized tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a posterior fossa arachnoid cyst (PFAC) causing brain stem compression accompanied by hydrocephalus. The patient was treated by endoscopic fenestration of the cyst with a paramedian suboccipital transcortical approach. Postoperatively the patient’s complaints showed improvement and he was discharged with no complications. Follow up MRI showed a decrease in the cyst’s size and the hydrocephalus with decompression of the brain stem.

Özet

Bu makalede yazarlar endoskopik yöntem ile tedavi edilmiş büyük bir posterior fossa araknoid kist vakasını sunmaktadır. 40 yaşında ve özgeçmişinde özellik bulunmayan erkek hasta 3 ay süren başağrısı ve yürüme dengesizliği şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Başvuru zamanında yapılan nörolojik muayenede tandem yürüyüş dengesizliği saptandı. Kranyal bilgisayarlı tomografide (BT) ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede (MRG) beyin sapı basısı ve buna bağlı hidrosefaliye neden olan bir posterior fossa araknoid kisti saptandı. Bu hasta paramedian suboksipital transkortikal yaklaşımı uygulanarak endoskopik yöntem ile ameliyat edildi. Postop dönemde hastanın şikayetlerinde gerileme görüldü ve komplikasyonsuz olarak taburcu edildi. Kontrol kranyal MRG’de kist ve hidrosefalinin boyutları azaldığı ve beyin sapı dekomprese olduğu görüldü.
