Çocukta Araknoid Kist Zemininde Gelișen Spontan Subdural Hematom ve İntrakistik Hemoraji

Abstract

Arachnoid cysts are non-tumorus fluid collections due to abnormality in the embryonic development of the arachnoid membrane. In this study, a surgically treated arachnoid cyst that presented with intracystic hemorrhage and subdural hematoma developed spontaneously is presented. The patient was admitted to the clinic with headache, vertigo, vomiting and somnolence. There was no history of trauma. Computerized tomography revealed intracystic hemorrhage and subdural hematoma on the same side. The patient underwent surgical intervention and improved post-operatively. This is the twenty-second case of spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage and subdural hematoma which developed on the basis of arachnoid cyst in the literature

Arachnoid Cyst With Spontaneous Subdural Hematoma and Intracystic Hemorrhage in a Child

Abstract

Araknoid kistler, embriyolojik dönemde, araknoid membranda gelișimsel anomaliler sonucunda ortaya çıkan tümöral olmayan sıvı birikimleridir. Bu çalıșmada, cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen araknoid kist zemininde spontan gelișen intrakistik hemoraji ve subdural hematom olgusu sunuldu. Hasta bașağrısı, vertigo, kusma ve somnolans șikâyetleriyle bașvurdu. Travma öyküsü yoktu. Kompüterize tomografide aynı tarafta intrakistik hemoraji ve subdural hematom tespit edildi. Hasta opere edildi ve șikayetleri operasyon sonrası düzeldi. Bu olgu literatürde bildirilen yirmi ikinci, travma öyküsü olmaksızın, araknoid kist zemininde gelișen intrakistik hemoraji ve subdural hematom olgusudur.
