Endoscopic fenestration of arachnoid cyst
Surgery is performed through a small skull opening and under direct endoscopic vision.
The cyst is opened and drained to the subarachnoid space.
No shunt insertion is necessary.
Pathology of the arachnoid cyst
Arachnoid cyst is usually congenital, incidental finding in many cases and is usually asymptomatic. If signs of intracranial pressure develop or severe headaches, surgery is indicated.
