“…Similar encouraging results are reported in patients with hydrocephalus, gait defects, cognitive disorders and also in patients with seizures. 9 It has been also well documented in literature that arachnoid cysts should be conservatively managed as far as possible in cases where the patients do not exhibit signs of increased intracranial pressure or focal neurological signs and surgery should be only reserved for only refractory cases and symptomatic patients. 10 Therefore not all arachnoid cysts require surgical inter vention.…”

Arachnoid cysts constitute 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions. These typically produce vague and nonspecific symp toms. However, a subset of these lesions can produce cons tellation of signs and symptoms indistinguishable from those causing peripheral vertigo. We discuss the presentation of a giant arachnoid cyst which presented with dizziness and mimicked benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood (BPVC).

“…Current management options for large, symptomatic arachnoid cysts broadly consist of microsurgical fenestration through craniotomy, neuroendoscopic fenestration, and cystoperitoneal shunting. [ 47 48 ] In their meta-analytic review of surgical treatment options for arachnoid cysts, Hayes et al . found craniotomy and endoscopy to have similar efficacy in studies that looked at both pediatric and adult populations, while endoscopy was superior to craniotomy and shunting in adult-only studies.…”

With the evolution of surgical techniques, endoscopy has emerged as a suitable alternative to many instances of more invasive methods. In this review article, we aim to discuss the endoscopic advancements, procedural details, indications, and outcomes of the most commonly practiced neuroendoscopic procedures. We have also summarized the uses, techniques, and challenges of neuroendoscopy in select neurosurgical pathologies.

“…Some authors do not propose surgical procedures, but some authors justify the importance of surgery especially for the cysts crossed by bridging vessels to avoid intracystic hemorrhage or subdural hematoma in asymptomatic patients (3,14) . Wang et al evaluated different surgical treatments to determine the most effective technique in a series of 68 adult patients (12) . In this study, although reoperation rate was significantly lower in microsurgical craniotomy group relative to cystoperitoneal shunting group, it was a more invasive technique than microsurgical craniotomy (12) .…”

Convexity or interhemispheric fissure arachnoid cysts are rarely seen lesions (5%). Although they are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment, neurological symptoms like headache and seizures should be considered for surgical approaches. We reported a 47-year-old man with severe headaches. Computed tomography revealed a cystic lesion on the left cerebral convexity extending to interhemispheric fissure. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed displacement of corpus callosum with a slight midline shift caused by an arachnoid cyst. A cystoperitoneal shunt was performed. Radiologically, the cyst was partially resolved after cystoperitoneal shunting. Arachnoid cyst can cause local ischemia that triggers symptoms via compression, which can require surgical management, but an optimal treatment method can not be determined.
