A 26-year-old woman in the 28th week of pregnancy presented with a primary cerebral hydatid cyst manifesting as deteriorating consciousness and weakness in the left arm and leg. Cranial computed tomography revealed an intracranial hydatid cyst. The cyst was surgically removed and albendazole was administered. The patient had a spontaneous vaginal term delivery and no problem was observed in the mother or child. No primary focus was found in the lungs, liver, and other organs. Hydatid cyst is still an important disease. Intracranial hydatid cyst without primary foci in organs such as the liver and lungs is very rare. Primary cerebral hydatid cyst during pregnancy can be successfully treated by surgical and medical intervention.
882turge-Weber sendromu (SWS) "ensefalotrigeminal anjiyomatozis" diye de adlandırılan nörokutanöz bir hastalıktır. Genellikle leptomeninksleri ve yüz derisinde trigeminal sinirin oftalmik (V1) ve maksiller (V2) dağılım alanlarını etkiler. Kutanöz anjiyom porto şarabı nevüs olarak adlandırılır. A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Sturge-Weber sendromu; beyin neoplazileri; araknoid kistler A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is usually characterized with port-wine facial nevus, leptomeningeal angiomatosis and glaucoma. Although neurologic findings vary according to the location and size of the cerebral pathology, epilepsy and hemiparesis are the most common findings. In this study, we presented a 31-year-old male patient who had a port-wine facial nevus. Leptomeningeal angiomatosis and glaucoma that often accompanied Sturge-Weber Syndrome were not detected in our patient. His neurologic examination was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the cerebellopontine angle and an arachnoid cyst on the left temporal region.. Additionally extensive cerebral and cerebellar atrophy was detected without significant vascular lesion. With these findings, we considered the patient a variant of Sturge-Weber Syndrome Type II. Although SWS variants were reported in the literature, no reports are available presenting the coexistance of the syndrome with such intracranial pathologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
