Acetazolamide and corticosteroid therapy in complicated arachnoid cyst.

Pierluigi Longatti¹, Elisabetta Marton, Domenico Billeci.

Abstract

CASE REPORT: We report on the successful conservative treatment of a child harbouring a right-temporal arachnoid cyst associated with bilateral hygroma. TREATMENT: Medical treatment was by corticosteroids for several days and acetazolamide (15 mg/kg/die) for 10 months. OUTCOME: Clinical symptoms and signs disappeared completely with partial resolution of the bilateral hygroma at MRI follow-up.
