Cisto aracnóide do terceiro ventrículo: relato de dois casos

Arachnoid cyst of the third ventricle: report of two cases

Resumos

Foram atendidos no Departamento de Neurocirurgia da Universidade de Berlim, nos anos de 1985 e de 1986, dois casos de cisto aracnóide do terceiro ventrículo, ambos submetidos com sucesso a tratamento cirúrgico. São eles registrados neste artigo. Os cistos aracnóides do sistema ventricular e das cisternas são raros. Até o momento tinham sido registrados 46 casos na literatura. A tomografia axial computadorizada e a tomografia de ressonância magnética tornaram fácil o diagnóstico desta entidade, como se verifica nos casos registrados.


In 1985 and 1986 the Department of Neurosurgery of the University of Berlin treated two cases of arachnoid cysts of third ventricle, both of which were successfully dealt with surgically. They are reported in this paper. Arachnoid cysts from ventricular system and cisterns are rare. Up to now 46 cases have been reported in the specialized literature. The computerized tomography and magnetic resonance make diagnosis easier, as shown through the cases reported.
