| ABSTRACT |
|
The anterior middle fossa is the most common location of benign intracranial arachnoid cysts. In the adult, headache, temporal bulging, and mild proptosis are the usual presenting complaints, although seizures and contralateral weakness have been described. Bitemporal hemianopsia associated with this lesion has not been noted previously.
Herein we describe the patient with bitemporal hemianopsia associated with sylvian fissure arachnoid cyst.
Cystoperitoneal shunt was beneficial. The etiology, histology, and suggested therapy of other patient with arachnooid cyst are also discussed. |
| Key Words:
