Retroclival arachnoid cyst with hemifacial spasm.
Arachnoid cysts are rare lesions occurring anywhere in the cerebrospinal axis. The sylvian fissure remains the most favoured site for their occurrence, followed by cerebellopontine angle, suprasellar, and quadrigeminal cisterns. Retroclival arachnoid cysts are very rare. We report a retroclival arachnoid cyst with bilateral cerebellopontine angle extensions with hemifacial spasm in a 26-year-ol...
متن کاملHemifacial spasm caused by a cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst. Case report and literature review.
Arachnoid cysts involving the cerebellopontine angle are an unusual cause of hemifacial spasm. The case is reported of a 71-year old woman presenting with a right hemifacial spasm and an ipsilateral arachnoid cyst. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested a neurovascular compression caused by displacement of the facial-acoustic complex and the anterior inferior cerebellar arte...
متن کاملCerebellopontine Angle Epidermoid Cyst: Case Report
Epidermoid cysts are rare congenital tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), histologically benign and slowgrowing lesions. Their frequency among primitive intracranial tumors is about 1% and they account for 40% of all intracranial epidermoid of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA); there they constitute the third most frequent neoplasm (5%), after acoustic neuromas and meningiomas. We report ...
متن کامل[Epidermoid cyst of the cerebellopontine angle].
Results: Chart review identified 17 patients. The most common symptom at diagnosis was tinnitus, followed by sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, facial pain, and headache. Physical exam revealed facial hypesthesias in 3 patients, facial paresis in 2 patients, while 14 patients had no physical exam findings on presentation. MRI studies of all patients revealed lesions which are isodense with br...
متن کاملMalignant Transformation of an Epidermoid Cyst in the Cerebellopontine Angle
Intracranial squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with most of the cases arising from malignant transformation of an epidermoid or a dermoid cyst. The patient presented with facial weakness. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right cerebellopontine angle. A subtotal resection was performed via right retrosigmoid suboccipital approach. Histopathological findings were...
