Abstract

|
|
We report the presentation and surgical management of one case with symptomatic intrasellar arachnoid cyst. A 37-year-old female presented with a 2-month history of headache. On neurological examination and preoperative hormonal evaluation, she had no abnormalities. The preoperative magnetic resonance images revealed a intrasellar mass which was hyperintense on T1-weighted image without enhancement after Gd-DTPA administration, and hypointense on T2-weighted image. She underwent transsphenoidal surgery. The cystic lesion was incised, and the colorless cystic fluid like CSF was drained without any solid portion. Postoperative course was uneventful. With regards to intraoperative findings, this lesion was diagnosed as arachnoid cyst.
