Coexisting arachnoid cyst and tentorial sinus: A therapeutic dilemma Academic Article in Scopus uri icon

abstract

  • © 2020 Published by Scientific Scholar on behalf of Surgical Neurology InternationalA 4-year-old male presented with a large arachnoid cyst over the left temporal region causing displacement of adjacent structures. Cerebral angiography showed dilatation of the tentorial sinus without other apparent vascular alterations. The association of these two anomalies raises a therapeutic dilemma as no information is available about how the variants of the venous system can modify cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics and thus affect arachnoid cyst¿s prognosis. In this case, the patient was treated conservatively and has remained stable for 2 years.
