Abstract
Intrasellar arachnoid cysts are benign malformations. They are extremely rare (approximately 3% of cases). Their pathophysiology is still poorly elucidated. We here report a case of intrasellar arachnoid cyst with suprasellar extension whose treatment was based on endoscopic transsphenoidal fenestration. The epidemiological, clinical, pathophysiological, radiological, therapeutic and evolutionary features have been analyzed. Neuroendoscopic procedures are performed with increasing frequency in surgery. Prognosis is good and recurrences are frequent, even after several years of evolution. © Maguette Mbaye et al.Entities:
