Endoscopic management of an unusual and large suprasellar arachnoid cyst extending into the adjacent temporal lobe

Abstract

In this paper, we comment on a 4 year-old boy with a complex and large suprasellar arachnoid cyst extending to the adjacent temporal lobe. Its successful decompression using a unilateral endoscopic approach (confirmed on post-operative imaging) and excellent clinical recovery, highlights this as a useful technique to manage such cases.
