Abstract

Araknoid kistler; intrakraniyal kitlelerin yaklaşık %1’ini oluşturur ve
sıklıkla ekstra-aksiyel bölgede dura ile beyin arasında yerleşimli kistik
lezyonlardır. Genellikle erken yaşlarda semptom verirler. Artan yaşla
birlikte semptom verme insidansı azalır hatta bazı dev araknoid kistler
tamamen asemptomatik olup, otopsi esnasında insidental olarak tespit
edilirler. Acil servise baş ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran ve sağ temporal
yerleşimli araknoid kist teşhis edilen, sonrasında da opere edilen bir olgu
sunduk. On yedi yaşında erkek hasta, üç-dört yıldan beri ara sıra olan
baş ağrısı şikayetinin şiddetlenmesi üzerine acil servisimize başvurdu.
Nörolojik muayenesi normal olarak saptanan hastanın çekilen beyin tomografisinde
sağ beyin hemisferinin yaklaşık yarısını kaplayan, lateral
ventriküle bası yapan kistik lezyon saptandı. Ayırıcı tanı için yapılan
difüzyon manyetik rezonans görüntülemede lezyonun araknoid kist ile
uyumlu olduğu saptandı. Araknoid kistleri asemptomatik olabildikleri
gibi non-spesifik semptomlara da yol açabilirler. Bu kistlerin cerrahi
tedavi endikasyonları ve yöntemleri halen tartışmalıdır.

Abstract

Arachnoid cysts constitute approximately 1% of intracranial masses and they are cystic lesions usually located on extraaxial region between dura and the brain. They usually show symptoms in the early years. Incidence of showing symptoms decrease with increasing age, some giant arachnoid cysts even become completely asymptomatic and they are detected incidentally during autopsies. Herein we reported a case who applied to the emergency department with complaint of headache and diagnosed as arachnoid cyst located on right temporal lobe and operated on thereafter. A 17-year-old male patient suffered from headache occasionally was applied to our emergency department as his headache aggravated. A cystic lesion occupying almost half of the right hemisphere and impressing on lateral ventricle was detected on computed cranial tomography of the patient whose neurological examination was found normal. The lesion was found to be consistent with arachnoid cyst on diffusion magnetic resonance ımaging carried out for differential diagnosis. Arachnoid cysts can lead to non-specific symptoms as well as they can be asymptomatic. Indications and methods of surgical treatment for these cysts are currently controversial
