evaluation of communication between intracranial arachnoid cysts and cisterns with phase-contrast cine MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The demonstration of communication between arachnoid cysts (ACs) and the adjacent subarachnoid space is a prerequisite for their proper management. CT cisternography (CTC) is the conventional method for functional evaluation of ACs. The sensitivity of MR imaging to CSF flow has been demonstrated, but reports of the clinical usefulness of MR CSF flow techniques in this app...
متن کاملMiddle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts complicated with subdural collections.
Dr. Felipe Slaviero – Edifício das Clínicas Rua Teixeira Soares, 885 / 10o andar 99010-901 Passo Fundo RS Brasil. E-mail: [email protected]. Intracranial arachnoid cysts are congenital collections of fluid that develop within the arachnoid membrane because of splitting or duplication of this structure. It corresponds to 1% of all non-traumatic intracranial mass lesions. Arachnoid cysts...
متن کاملMR imaging of middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts: temporal lobe agenesis syndrome revisited.
MR studies in eight patients with extraaxial arachnoid cysts in the middle cranial fossa were reviewed in order to identify any associated structural defect in the ipsilateral temporal lobe. The study was prompted by the original theory that agenesis of the temporal lobe is the primary factor in the development of these cysts. Authors of subsequent studies proposed that the cysts are a conseque...
متن کاملArachnoid cysts in the middle cranial fossa: cause and treatment of progressive and non-progressive symptoms.
Ten consecutive patients with arachnoid cysts in the middle cranial fossa, diagnosed by CT, were studied. They were divided into three clinical groups: (1) four patients with progressive symptoms caused by secondary bleeding, (2) five patients with non-progressive symptoms of headache or epilepsy, and (3) one asymptomatic patient. The nine symptomatic patients were operated upon and eight showe...
متن کاملExtensive Middle Cranial Fossa Arachnoid Cysts and Different Clinical Presentation in Two Patients
Arachnoid cysts (ACs), particularly suprasellar cysts, cause a wide spectrum of endocrine disorders. Herein, we report two patients diagnosed with an extensive AC in the middle cranial fossa while being investigated for etiologies of precocious puberty and short stature. One of them required surgery due to his pubertal disorders associated with compression effects of cyst. After surgery, his pu...
