    This case report details an infant with a large ependymal cyst causing developmental delays and limb weakness. Surgical intervention to connect the cyst to the ventricle led to symptom improvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Developmental Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Ependymal cysts are rare intracranial lesions that can cause significant neurological deficits in infants.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing pediatric neurological conditions.

    Observation:

    • An eleven-month-old male infant presented with macrocephaly and right upper limb paresis.
    • Computed tomography revealed a large supratentorial cyst and suggested agenesis of the corpus callosum.
    • The cyst was isolated from the ventricular and subarachnoid spaces.

    Findings:

    • The ependymal cyst originated in the interhemispheric fissure and expanded across the midline.
    • Cyst fluid analysis showed low protein and normal sugar content.
    • Surgical cyst fenestration into the ventricle was performed.

    Implications:

    • Surgical management of isolated supratentorial ependymal cysts can lead to neurological recovery.
    • This case highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing complex pediatric intracranial pathologies.
    • Further research into the etiology and optimal management of ependymal cysts is warranted.
