Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Congenital arachnoid cysts are benign fluid-collections within the brain.
  • Traditional treatments include microsurgery or shunting, which carry risks.
  • Endoscopic techniques offer a less invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic fenestration for congenital arachnoid cysts.
  • To assess long-term clinical and radiological outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study included 36 consecutive patients with congenital arachnoid cysts.
  • Endoscopic fenestration was the primary treatment, with shunting in select cases.
  • Mean follow-up was 4.2 years.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic procedures led to cyst obliteration in 77.8% of patients.
  • Good long-term clinical outcomes were observed in all patients.
  • No mortality or morbidity was reported.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic fenestration is a safe and effective treatment for congenital arachnoid cysts.
  • It represents a promising alternative to traditional surgical methods.
  • Further research can solidify its role in neurosurgical practice.
