Hydatid Cyst Mimicking a Pericardial Cyst
A 27-year-old female patient presented to our clinic because of atypical chest pain. Her past medical history was unremarkable for any chronic illness. Her vital signs comprised a heart rate of 85 bpm, blood pressure of 125/70 mm Hg, and oxygen saturation of 98%. Physical examination was unremarkable. Electrocardiography showed normal sinus rhythm without any ST-segment and T-wave abnormalities...
متن کاملSpinal Extradural Arachnoid Cyst
A 48-year-old male presented with progressive leg weakness. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography myelography showed an extradural arachnoid cyst extending from the T-12 to L-2 levels in the thoracolumbar region. The cyst was confirmed at surgery and completely removed. This surgical intervention achieved improvement in the neurological symptoms.
متن کاملSpinal Extradural Arachnoid Cyst
A spinal extradural arachnoid cyst (SEAC), which is mostly found at the thoracic spine, is a rare disease, accounting for approximately 1% to 3% of spinal tumors. SEAC patients are generally men in their 20’s, 30’s, or 50’s. SEACs are most commonly found in the middle or lower thoracic spine, and less frequently found in the lumbar region, although they can be detected at any lesion of the spin...
متن کاملSpinal Arachnoid CYST and Paraparesis
Spinal arachnoid cysts generaiiy communicate with the subarachnoid space. Theyare considered as benign entities and are rarely seen in neurosurgical practice (2, 9-11). Presentation with cornpressian of the spinal cord andi or roots may sametimes occur and this may be symptomatic, as myelopathy andi or radiculopathy (1-12). In this paper a case of intradural arachnoid cyst in the midthoracic re...
متن کاملOesophageal duplication cyst mimicking hydatid cyst in endemic areas
The cystic appearance of both oesophageal duplications and pulmonary hydatid cysts can cause a misdiagnosis very easily due to rarity of cystic oesophageal duplications beside the higher incidence of hydatid cyst, especially in endemic areas. Here we report a 7-year-old girl with an oesophageal duplication cyst on the left side misdiagnosed as a hydatid cyst. The aim of the study is to report r...
