Spontaneous resolution of a Meckel's cave arachnoid cyst causing sixth cranial nerve palsy.
A 32-year-old pregnant woman developed a progressive right sixth cranial nerve palsy as an isolated finding. Brain MRI disclosed a discrete lobulated lesion centered in the right Meckel's cave with intermediate signal on T1, high signal on T2, and diffusion characteristics similar to those of cerebrospinal fluid on apparent diffusion coefficient mapping. The initial radiologic diagnosis was sch...
متن کاملPlasmacytoma of the Clivus Presenting as Bilateral Sixth Nerve Palsy
Background and Importance Plasmacytomas are monoclonal proliferations of plasma cells that may arise within soft tissue or bone. The skull base is a rare site for plasmacytomas to occur, and few cases have been reported in the literature. When present in the skull base, plasmacytomas may result in cranial neuropathies and often progress to multiple myeloma more rapidly than other intracranial o...
متن کاملHuge arachnoid Cyst Presenting as Cough Headache.
A 42-year-old man presented to our clinic with episodic diffuse thunderclap headache occurring over the past 5 months. His headache, which lasted from hours to one day, was always exacerbated by coughing and exertion. Neurologic examination was unremarkable. Brain magnetic resonance imaging with gadollinium demonstrated a huge arachnoid cyst with lateral ventricle compression (Figure.). After s...
متن کاملEndoscopic Surgical Management of Intracranial Symptomatic Arachnoid Cyst
Background and Aim: Intracranial Arachnoid Cysts (IAC) are suitable choices for endoscopic procedure to avoid craniotomy or shunt placement. Our main objective is to study the outcome of endoscopic procedure in IAC treatment. Methods and Materials/Patients: In this descriptive and retrospective study, we report our experience of 27 symptomatic patients with IAC who underwent endoscopic surger...
متن کاملIsolated sixth nerve palsy
An isolated sixth nerve palsy may be a harbinger of underlying intracranial disease. Due to its long subarachnoid course, it may be damaged by downward shift of the brainstem as often occurs in increased or decreased intracranial pressure (“false-localizing sixth nerve palsy”). Alternatively, the sixth nerve may be involved in isolation by a compressive lesion in the cavernous sinus or along th...
