Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,surgical indications and methods of children sylvian cistern arachnoid cysts complicated with subdural hematoma.Methods Fifty childhood cases of sylvian cistern arachnoid cyst complicated with subdural hematoma were retrospectively analyzed,who were all surgically treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from July 2005 to August 2015.Among them,20 childhood cases were subacute subdural hematoma,30 childhood cases were chronic subdural hematoma.All patients underwent microscopic cyst excision,cystocistern fenestration plus hematoma removal surgery.During the surgery,firstly we resected the cyst wall tissue as far as possible,and then we communicated the cyst with subarachnoid space and cisterns,which could make the cerebrospinal fluid flowed unobstructedly.Results The course of every operation was smooth,and there was no severe complication postoperatively.Original symptoms and imaging manifestation resolved or improved in all patients.During a mean follow-up period of 5.7 years,there were no recurrent cases.Conclusion Children sylvian cistern arachnoid cyst can induce subdural hematoma.In this situation,microscopic cyst excision,cystocistern fenestration plus hematoma removal surgery is safe and effective.
