Dev Araknoid Kist: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

 

Araknoid
kistler araknoid membranın aşama aşama yıkılmasıyla oluşan, serebrospinal sıvı
içeren, benign malformasyonlardır. Araknoid kistlere hidrosefali, nöbet,
intrakranial basınç artışı ve fokal nörolojik defisit  gibi semptomlara yol açmadıkça tedavi
önerilmez. Biz bu yazıda 5 yaşındaki bir çocuk hastada insidental olarak tespit
edilen dev bir araknoid kist olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık.
