Abstract

Arachnoid Pacchioni’s Granulations are little bulges of the arachnoid mater into the cerebral sinuses. They are mostly found in the transverse or superior sagittal sinuses. Arachnoid Pacchioni’s Granulations provide passive filtration of cerebrospinal fluid from the subarachnoid space. Their normal size is a few millimeters, but their size increases with age. They are usually asymptomatic, but rarely can cause venous hypertension. They also can be misdiagnosed as cerebral sinus thrombosis on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Cerebral sinus thrombosis can occur with nonspecific symptoms such as acute unilateral hearing loss. We present a rare case that applied to our clinic with sudden sensorineural hearing loss and incidental Arachnoid Pacchioni’s Granulation. In this case, we will discuss the distinction between Arachnoid Pacchioni Granulation and sinus vein thrombosis in the light of the literature.

Özet

Araknoid Pacchioni Granülasyonları, araknoid materin dura defektlerinden serebral venöz sinüslere doğru uzanımıdır. Çoğunlukla transvers veya superior sagital sinüslerde bulunurlar. Araknoid Pacchioni Granülasyonları, subaraknoid boşluktan beyin omurilik sıvısının pasif filtrasyonunu sağlar. Normal boyutları birkaç milimetredir, ancak yaşla birlikte boyutları artar. Genellikle asemptomatiktirler, nadiren venöz hipertansiyona neden olabilirler. Bilgisayarlı tomografide ve manyetik rezonans incelemede serebral sinüs ven trombozu olarak yanlış tanı alabilirler. Serebral ven trombozu akut tek taraflı işitme kaybı gibi spesifik olmayan semptomlarla ortaya çıkabilir. Kliniğimize ani sensörinöral işitme kaybı ile başvuran ve Araknoid Pacchioni Granülasyonu tespit edilen nadir bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Bu olgu üzerinden Araknoid Pacchioni Granülasyonu ve sinüs ven trombozu ayrımını literatür ışığında ele alacağız.
