Rare cerebral arachnoid cysts eroding the skull base and extending into the paranasal sinus require surgical intervention. Fenestration of the cyst and obliteration of the dural and bony defect are crucial for preventing complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Skull Base Surgery
- Rhinology
Background:
- Cerebral arachnoid cysts eroding the skull base into paranasal sinuses are exceptionally rare.
- Few cases have been documented in medical literature.
