The intradiploic arachnoid cysts are rare radiological entities which are generally post-traumatic in nature and occur mostly in occipital region. We present a rare case of non-traumatic, asymptomatic intradiploic cyst of the greater wing of sphenoid in an elderly patient. The CT and MR imaging confirmed an intraosseous multiloculated cystic lesion which showed communication with the cerebrospinal fluid in anterior temporal fossa, through the small bony defects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
