Hemorrhagic arachnoid cyst with third nerve paresis: CT and MR findings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the CT and MR appearance of a nontraumatic hemorrhagic arachnoid cyst presenting with a third nerve paresis in a 37-year-old man. The cyst, located in the left suprasellar area, contained a fluid-blood level with stigmata of subacute hemorrhage on both CT and MR studies.

A 61-year-old woman had bi lateral sensorineural hearing loss and difficulty with balance but no vertigo. Neurologic examination showed a right-sided peripheral facial nerve paresis, nystagmus on right and left lateral gaze, hypesthesia in the territory of the right trigeminal nerve with corneal hypesthesia, deviation to the right at toe walking, and positive Romberg sign. CT (Fig. 1 A) of the ...
متن کاملNontraumatic Intracystic Hemorrhage of Arachnoid Cyst: CT and MR Findings
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 کاملUnusual arachnoid cyst of the quadrigeminal cistern in an adult presenting with apneic spells and normal pressure hydrocephalus--case report.
A 67-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus, lower cranial nerve pareses, and pyramidal and cerebellar signs associated with respiratory disturbances. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 4.7 x 5.4 cm quadrigeminal arachnoid cyst causing severe compression of the tectum and entire brain stem, aqueduct, and cerebellu...
متن کاملIsolated Oculomotor (Third) Nerve Palsy: A Rare Presentation in a Patient with Bilateral Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH)
CSDH is an encapsulated collection of old blood, mostly liquefied and located between the dura mater and arachnoid. It was first described in the literature by Virchow in 1857 as “pachymeningitis haemorrhagica interna”. Later Trotter put forward the theory of traumatic rupture of bridging veins as a cause of what he named “subdural haemorrhagic cyst”. A history of head trauma is not always esse...
متن کاملCSF flow studies of intracranial cysts and cyst-like lesions achieved using reversed fast imaging with steady-state precession MR sequences.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Differentiating between intracranial cysts or cyst-like structures and communicating or noncommunicating cysts is often not possible with cranial CT or nonfunctional MR imaging. We evaluated a retrospective ECG-gated fast imaging with steady-state precession (PSIF) MR sequence with optional cine mode to differentiate cystic masses from enlarged CSF spaces and to determine...
