ABSTRACT
We report a case of suprasellar arachnoid cyst with hydrocephalus which was diagnosed incidentally. This 41-year-old housewife had sympoms of hydrocephalus and hypophyseal dysfunction. Despite of well-functioning ventriculoperitioneal shunt and communication of the cyst with the ventricular system, the size of the ventricular system was never been normalized. She deteriorated progressively and eventually died shortly after the seventh operation. Unusual hospital couse is presented with brief review of the related literatures.
