The author/date | The patient (age, sex) | Manifestation | Diagnosis | Treatment |
---|---|---|---|---|
Roshan 2020 | 8-year-old M | Involuntary bobbling head movements. | MRI of the brain: an extensive suprasellar cyst resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus | Endoscopic ventriculocystocisternostomy |
Saracoglu 2019 | 9‐year-old F | Involuntary abnormal head movements. | MRI: suprasellar anterior third ventricular arachnoid cyst and obstructive hydrocephalus. | Cysto-ventriculocisternostomy by endoscopic fenestration. |
Renne 2018 | 14-year-old M. | Involuntary abnormal head movements with atriventricular hydrocephalus | MRI: suprasellar anterior third ventricular arachnoid cyst and obstructive hydrocephalus. | Endoscopic third ventriculostomy |
7.5-year-old F | BHDS with preexisting endocrinopathy and autism spectrum disorder at the age of 12 years | MRI: suprasellar arachnoid cyst | Endoscopic fenestration | |
Ramesh 2015 | 10-month-old F | Two episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizures Involuntary bobbling of the head for a month | MRI: intensity cystic lesion in prepontine, interpeduncular, suprasellar anterior third ventricle with moderate dilatation of third and both lateral ventricles | Right frontal burr hole, endoscopic partial excision and marsupialization of cyst, third ventriculostomy, and septostomy |
4-year-old F | Involuntary nodding of the head back Ataxia on walking since 1 year | CT scan: dilatation of lateral ventricles and third ventricles MRI: large suprasellar arachnoid cyst in the third ventricle with compression of the fornix, corpus callosum with enlarged lateral and third ventricles. | Frontal burr hole, endoscope marsupialization of the cyst, cystoventriculostomy, and third ventriculostomy | |
8-year-old F | Fever on and off for 2 months Difficulty in walking Abnormal head movements for 1 month One episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures | CT and MRI brain: large third ventricular arachnoid cyst with mass effect over the brain stem, and obstructive hydrocephalus | Frontal burr hole, endoscopic cystoventriculostomy, third ventriculostomy and reservoir placement | |
Reddy 2014 | 9-year-old M | Involuntary movements of head as excessive head nodding since 1 year. Clinical examination: conscious and coherent fundus, temporal pallor, more on the right side | CT scan and MRI of the brain: cystic lesion arising from the suprasellar region extending upwards causing compression of the third ventricle leading to obstructive hydrocephalus at the level of the third ventricle. | Ventriculocystostomy endoscopically |
Muthusubramanian 2006 | 5 year-old M | Intermittent head nodding of 2 years duration associated with tremors of the hands since 1.5 years. | CT and MRI scans of the brain revealed a suprasellar arachnoid cyst with obstructive hydrocephalus | Endoscopic ventriculocystocisternostomy |
Eveline 2005 | 4-year-old M | BHDS | CT and MRI scans: suprasellar arachnoid cysts | An endoscopic cystoventriculostomy was performed |
Fioravanti 2004 | 1-year-old F | Persistent nocturnal tearing abnormal head movements. | CT and MRI: a bulky arachnoid cyst of the suprasellar region that occupied the third ventricle and obstructed the foramina of Monro, causing biventricular hydrocephalus | Ventriculocystocisternostomy was endoscopically |
9-year-old M | Early puberty for the previous 9 months Behavioral problems and enuresis. Clinical examination: clumsy gait and abnormal head trunk movements. | CT and MRI: arachnoid cyst of the suprasellar region that occupied the third ventricle and obstructed the foramina of Monro, causing notable biventricular hydrocephalus | Ventriculocystostomy was endoscopically | |
Desai 2003 | Three cases with a mean of 3.3 years old | The duration of complaints ranged from 4 to 6 months, a clinical complaint was BHDS | CT and MRI scans: suprasellar arachnoid cysts | Third patient: the massive cyst was exposed through a transcallosal route. First and second patients: a translaminar approach was adopted to expose the cyst. |
