The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcome, we performed a retro-spective review of 35 lateral meniscal cysts that were treated arthroscopically at our institution which was a retrospective study. From a series of 1000 knee arthroscopies, 41 patients who had lateral meniscal cysts were selected. 2 of the 35 patients were lost to follow-up and 4 patients had associated other path...

STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study. PURPOSE To study the surgical outcome of synovial cysts of the lumbar spine through posterior laminectomy in combination with transpedicular screw fixation. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Synovial cysts of the lumbar spine contribute significantly to narrowing of the spinal canal and lateral thecal sac and nerve root compression. Cysts form as a result o...

BACKGROUND To investigate feasibility and safety of treating simple parapelvic renal cysts using flexible ureteroscopy with the Holmium laser. METHODS Between February 2010 and July 2013, a total of 21 patients, aging from 29 to 71 (49.00 ± 13.23), were diagnosed with parapelvic renal cysts by ultrasonography in combination with contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CT) and intravenous urogr...

Background. Hydatid cyst (HC) disease is endemic in many developing countries, like Yemen, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, especially in the rural regions. The disease has a variable clinical courses and even might be asymptomatic for many years. Objectives. In giant and large pulmonary hydatid cysts, pulmonary resection is the usual method of surgical treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate th...

Radiographic findings may be very helpful in deciding adequate management. A cystic image with fluid contents and an attenuation coefficient similar to water containing calcifications (occurring in up to 15% of cases) may suggest an adrenal cyst. Rozenblit et al. classified nonfunctioning cystic adrenal masses into four types based on radiographic criteria. Uncomplicated cysts are homogeneous c...

BACKGROUND One of the most common problems faced in laparoscopic treatment of hydatid cysts is the difficulty in evacuating the particulate contents (daughter cysts and laminated membrane). Although various instruments and laparoscopic techniques have been described to evacuate the contents of hydatid cysts, most are not available at many surgical centers. METHODS By assembling disposable, ch...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the range of all histologically diagnosed odontogenic cysts along with age range, sex distribution and site of presentation over a 30-year period. METHODS All entries for odontogenic cysts occurring during 1975-2004 inclusive were retrieved and analysed for demographic data. RESULTS A total of 55,446 specimens were received, of these 7121 (1...

The incidence of choroid plexus cysts represents approximately 1% of fetal anomalies. We describe a case in which fetal ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance scans were used to identify a large choroid cyst in a fetus without the use of a diagnostic amniocentesis to detect aneuploidy. After birth, the child underwent surgery. In conclusion, the nature of prenatal intracranial cysts shoul...

Dear Editor On September 2018, a case report titled “Squamous cell carcinoma arising from a sebaceous cyst” was published in the “Journal of Surgery and Trauma” (volume 6, issue 2) (1). It was an interesting article; however, I think when dealing about such rare tumors, it is important to be aware of other diseases, such as proliferating trichilemmal cysts (PTC) that may be confused with squam...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of associated anomalies, aneuploidy, cyst progression, need for surgery and neurodevelopmental outcome in fetuses with extra-axial supratentorial intracranial cysts. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase and CINAHL databases were searched and the following outcomes analyzed: associated central nervous system (CNS) and extra-CNS anomalies detected at the scan, chr...
