Abstract

Araknoid kistler, beyin veya omurilik ile araknoid
membran arasında bulunan, iyi huylu, beyin omurilik sıvısı dolu keseciklerdir. Genellikle
araknoid kistler, beyin görüntülemesinde tesadüfen saptanırlar, ancak bazen
genişleme veya kanama nedeniyle semptomlara neden olabilirler. Bu yazıda son 1
yıldır giderek artan baş ağrısı ve eşlik eden görme bulanıklığı tarif eden 16
yaşında erkek hasta sunulmuştur.

Giant Arachnoid Cyst in a Patient Presenting with Visual Impairment and Headache

Abstract

Arachnoid cysts are benign cerebrospinal
fluid-filled sacs located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid
membrane. Arachnoid cysts are generally identified incidentally on brain
imaging, however they may occasionally cause symptoms because of bleeding or expansion.
In this study, a 16- year-old male, increasing headache and accompanying blurred
vision during the last 1 year was presented.
