Coexisting arachnoid cyst and tentorial sinus: A therapeutic dilemma.

Coexisting arachnoid cyst and tentorial sinus: A therapeutic dilemma. Surg Neurol Int. 2020;11:280 Authors: Ferrigno AS, Figueroa-Sanchez JA Abstract A 4-year-old male presented with a large arachnoid cyst over the left temporal region causing displacement of adjacent structures. Cerebral angiography showed dilatation of the tentorial sinus without other apparent vascular alterations. The association of these two anomalies raises a therapeutic dilemma as no information is available about how the variants of the venous system can modify cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics and thus affect arachnoid cyst's prognosis. In this case, the patient was treated conservatively and has remained stable for 2 years. PMID: 33033642 [PubMed]
