Clivus chordoma coincidence with arachnoid cyst is rare. We report a rare case of clivus chordoma associated with arachnoid cyst.

CONTEXT Presence of an arachnoid cyst and a non-ruptured intracystic brain aneurysm is extremely rare. The aim of this paper was to describe a case of a patient with an arachnoid cyst and a non-ruptured aneurysm inside it. Clinical, surgical and radiological data were analyzed and the literature was reviewed. CASE REPORT A patient complained of chronic headache. She was diagnosed as having a ...

Abstract. A 17-year-old man who presented with progressive quadriparesis is reported. About 8 months prior to admission, he had miliary tuberculosis, and that improved with anti-tuberculous therapy. He had also developed tuberculous meningitis and tuberculous myelitis, respectively. He regularly took anti-tuberculous drugs until this illness. Neurological findings were compatible with cervical ...

Dr. Ayşe Karataş Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Nöroşirürji Anabilim Dalı Phone : (533) 48 044 12 E-mail address : [email protected] Arachnoid cysts are collections of cerebrospinal fl uid within the arachnoid membrane. They are benign, congenital lesions, and are usually asymptomatic. Rarely, they may become acutely symptomatic, due to cyst enlargement, subdural or the presenc...

Spinal extradural meningeal cysts are typically formed by a thin fibrotic membranous capsule, macroscopically similar that of an arachnoid membrane, filled by cerebro spinal fluid and related to a nerve root or to the posterior midline. Ventral location is extremely rare and when it occurs they usually cause spinal cord herniation through the ventral dural gap. A 61 year-old man who began with ...

Two unique findings, advanced calcification and ectopic neuroglia, were encountered in the wall of a giant congenital arachnoid cyst occurring in a 40 year old woman. The cyst almost totally filled the supratentorial subdural space of the left hemicranial cavity, was not connected with the subarachnoid space, and thus developed intra-arachnoidally. Its congenitally derived nature was supported ...

Arachnoid cysts are defined as an accumulation of fluid within the arachnoid membrane. Feline intracranial arachnoid cysts are seldom reported, with only three cases in the veterinary literature. A 1-year-old male neutered European cat with a 24 h history of seizures was presented to the small animal neurology department at Vetagro Sup, Lyon. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large in...

We present a case of an intradural arachnoid cyst that was successfully diagnosed via ultrasonography. It is challenging to distinguish between spinal cysts and cord herniations on preoperative computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Additionally, these diseases have been reported coexist. Therefore, definitive diagnosis not provided until intraoperative findings sufficiently...
