Arachnoid cyst with rupture into the subdural space.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arachnoid cysts which develop in relation to the cerebral hemispheres are usually found in the middle cranial fossa. These cysts are usually asymptomatic but can produce symptoms if there is haemorrhage into the cyst or the development of an associated subdural hematoma. Recent publications have emphasised the association of arachnoid cysts of the middle fossa with subdural haematomas. This report describes a case of an asymptomatic arachnoid cyst which ruptured into the subdural space. This event was followed by the development of symptoms despite the lack of haemorrhage.

Background: Arachnoid cysts are common intracranial space-occupying lesions which are often found in middle fossa and temporal regions of the skull. Many of these lesions are asymptomatic but some might appear as spaceoccupying lesions. Almost arachnoid cyst rupture, either following a trauma or spontaneously can result in intracystic hemorrhage, subdural hematoma and hygroma. The present study...

Arachnoid cysts (AC) are cerebrospinal fluid collections surrounded by an arachnoid membrane. They are mostly of developmental anomalies and represent 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions (1). Although ACs are usually asymptomatic, they may present clinical symptoms by complications such as rupture with subdural hematoma, intracystic hemorrhage, and acute cyst expansion (2). ACs with ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Rupture of the Middle Fossa Arachnoid Cyst into the Subdural Space: Case Report
BACKGROUND Arachnoid cysts are congenital, benign and intra-arachnoidal lesions. A great majority of arachnoid cysts are congenital. However, to a lesser extent, they are known to develop after head trauma and brain inflammatory diseases. Arachnoid cysts are mostly asymptomatic and they can develop anywhere in the brain along the arachnoid membrane. CASE REPORT Arachnoid cysts form 1% of the ...
