Görme Bozukluğu ve Baş Ağrısı ile Başvuran Hastada Dev Araknoid Kist Olgusu

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

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.
