Arachnoid cyst in the quadrigeminal cistern.

S Wakisaka, K Yoneda, I Kitano

    Surgical Neurology
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Arachnoid cysts in the quadrigeminal cistern are rare, particularly in adults. These cysts can cause increased intracranial pressure and obstructive hydrocephalus, requiring accurate diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Arachnoid cysts are congenital anomalies resulting from a separation of the arachnoid mater.
    • Quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cysts are uncommon and rarely reported in adult patients.
    • The etiology, classification, and terminology of arachnoid cysts remain subjects of debate in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of arachnoid cysts in the quadrigeminal cistern are presented.
    • One case involved an adult patient.
    • Both patients exhibited signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed obstructive hydrocephalus in both cases.
    • The rarity of these cysts, especially in adults, highlights the need for increased awareness.
    • Metrizamide computed tomographic cisternography proved to be a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cysts is crucial for timely intervention.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the classification and etiology of arachnoid cysts.
    • Metrizamide CT cisternography offers a valuable noninvasive method for diagnosing these rare cysts.
