INCIDENTAL ASYMPTOMATIC GIANT SUPRASELLAR ARACHNOID CYST

Abstract

Arachnoid cysts are developmental anomalies involving duplication or splitting of the arachnoid membrane often diagnosed in childhood as incidental findings on imaging. Patients may present with symptoms of raised intracranial pressure or, with a cranial deformity resulting from pressure erosion of the cyst within the calvarium. We report a case of incidentally diagnosed giant arachnoid cyst without any neurological complaints managed successfully. Keywords : Arachnoid cyst, Suprasellar arachnid cyst
