Abstract:
We present the case of a 25-year-old woman suffering from chronic severe headaches and syncope associated with an expanding cyst of the septum pellucidum. After a simple endoscopic fenestration of the cyst the symptoms resolved, resulting in an excellent clinical outcome. This case shows that simple endoscopic fenestration may produce a rapid and maintained symptomatic improvement in patients with an expanding cyst of the septum pellucidum.
