Abstract (english)
Intracranial arachnoid cysts are congenital lesions that are frequently detected incidentally. About 30% of patients have a symptomatic epileptic seizure as the presenting symptom, occasionally with other focal neurologic signs. A case is presented of a young male patient with medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Following his neurological examination, epileptic zone was defined in the right temporal lobe that correlated with the MRI-detected sylvian arachnoid cyst. Microneurosurgical cyst fenestration with volume reduction was performed, which resulted in a decremental but eventually complete seizure freedom. In conclusion, the arachnoid microsurgical cyst reduction is a safe procedure and may result in complete remission of symptomatic epileptic seizures and favorable outcomes, as reported in other studies.
Abstract (croatian)
Intrakranijske arahnoidne ciste su prirođena oštećenja koja se često otkrivaju slučajno. U oko 30% bolesnika manifestiraju se simptomatskim epileptičnim konvulzijama, ponekad i uz druge žarišne neurološke znakove. Prikazuje se slučaj mladog muškog bolesnika s medicinski refraktornom epilepsijom temporalnog režnja. Nakon neurološkog pregleda epileptična zona je definirana u desnom temporalnom režnju, što je koreliralo s arahnoidnom cistom Sylvianove fisure otkrivenom magnetskom rezonancijom. Izvedena je mikroneurokirurška fenestracija ciste sa smanjenjem volumena, što je rezultiralo ublažavanjem i na kraju potpunim izostankom konvulzija. Zaključuje se kako je mikrokirurško smanjenje ciste siguran zahvat koji može dovesti do potpune remisije simptomatskih epileptičnih napadaja i dobrog ishoda, kao što izvještavaju i autori drugih studija.
