Abstract

Arachnoid cysts (ACs) are cerebrospinal fluid collections between the two layers of the normal arachnoid membrane. Although they are often asymptomatic with a stationary course, eventual complications may occur. Herein, we report the case of a 9-year-old boy who developed bilateral papilloedema secondary to spontaneous rupture of an AC in the left middle cranial fossa. Although the papilloedema worsened during follow-up, his visual field remained bilaterally stable, supporting the expectant management and obviating the potential morbidity associated with neurosurgical intervention. This case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to patients with secondary intracranial hypertension, including serial ophthalmological examinations, which provide a useful guide to surgical decision-making.

眼科评估在蛛网膜囊肿破裂导致颅内压增高的保守治疗中的重要性。
蛛网膜囊肿(AC)是正常蛛网膜两层之间的脑脊液聚集。虽然蛛网膜囊肿通常无症状,病程稳定,但最终可能出现并发症。我们在此报告了一例 9 岁男孩的病例,他因左侧中颅窝的 AC 自发性破裂而继发双侧乳头水肿。虽然乳头水肿在随访期间有所恶化,但他的双侧视野仍然保持稳定,这支持了预期治疗,避免了神经外科干预可能带来的发病率。本病例报告强调了对继发性颅内高压患者采取多学科治疗方法的重要性,其中包括连续的眼科检查,这为手术决策提供了有用的指导。
