Abstract

Arachnoid cysts (AC's) are congenital anomalies that occur within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cisterns and major cerebral fissures. Suprasellar AC's comprise 5 - 12.5% of all the lesions. Despite being commonly reported, their etiology and pathogenesis still remain unclear. In this report, we presented an unusual case of spontaneous shrinkage of a suprasellar AC that had been incidentally diagnosed during a routine prenatal sonographic examination. To our knowledge, only three cases of spontaneous shrinkage of suprasellar AC have been reported in the literature. In detail of the manuscript, fetal and postnatal radiological images were presented and the possible mechanisms were discussed with a review of the literature.

Özet

Araknoid kistler (AK), beyin omurilik sıvısı (BOS) sisternleri ve büyük serebral fissürlerde ortaya çıkan doğumsal anomaliler olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Suprasellar AK'ler tüm lezyonlar içerisinde %5 - 12,5'lik bir yere sahiptir. Sıkça karşılaşılan patolojiler olmakla birlikte, etyoloji ve patogenezleri halen net olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Bu yazıda, rutin prenatal ultrasonografik tarama sırasında tesadüfen saptanan ve kendiliğinden küçülme gösteren nadir bir suprasellar AK olgusu sunulmuştur. Bilgilerimize göre, suprasellar AK'lerin kendiliğinden küçülmesi ya da kaybolmasına dair şu ana dek literatürde üç olgu bildirilmiştir. Yazının detayında, fetal ve doğum sonrası radyolojik görüntüler sunulmuş, literatür verileri gözden geçirilerek kendiliğinden küçülmeye ya da kaybolmaya ilişkin altta yatan muhtemel nedenler tartışılmıştır.
