This case report details an extremely rare intrasellar arachnoid cyst presenting with headache and visual issues. Surgical removal improved symptoms, highlighting the importance of considering this rare diagnosis in sellar region lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intrasellar arachnoid cysts are exceptionally rare lesions.
  • Differentiating them from other sellar region pathologies is clinically significant.

Observation:

  • A 44-year-old male presented with headache, visual disturbances, and panhypopituitarism.
  • Radiological imaging (CT, MRI, angiography) revealed a cystic lesion with specific characteristics suggestive of an arachnoid cyst.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention via a transsphenoidal approach confirmed and resected the intrasellar arachnoid cyst.
  • Post-operative improvement in visual symptoms was noted, though diabetes insipidus developed.

Implications:

  • Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, showing arachnoidal cells.
