Endonasal management of sellar arachnoid cysts: simple cyst obliteration technique

Abstract: Sellar ACs can be effectively treated using endonasal fenestration and obliteration with fat with resultant reversal of presenting symptoms in the majority of patients. This simplified technique of AC cavity obliteration without enlarging communication to the SAS has a low risk of CSF leakage, and in most cases appears to effectively disrupt cyst progression, although longer follow-up is required to monitor for cyst recurrence.

“…For instance, many articles and chapters from the past decades up to the present day state that these lesions constitute 1% of all intracranial mass lesions. 12,31,34,48,60,65,68,80,83,88,101 This belief predates the modern imaging era and is most likely a result of an estimate made by R. G. Robinson in 1971 75 based on his own clinical experience. Given the results of our own study as well as other prior studies, it is impossible to reconcile the common imaging prevalence of arachnoid cysts with the frequently stated belief that these lesions constitute merely 1% of intracranial mass lesions.…”

“…On the other hand, cisternostomy, with fenestration of the cyst into the cisterns, is generally undertaken for SACs to prevent recurrence [4]. However, CSF leakage after cisternostomy via TSS still remains a troubling issue [5]. Furthermore, total resection of RCCs raises the risk of postoperative hypopituitarism [3].…”

“…Cisternostomy thus has a risk of over surgery, especially in the case of RCCs. Several recent reports have indicated the usefulness of simple cyst opening techniques for SACs via endoscopic transnasal TSS [5]. There are cases in which it is difficult to differentiate between RCCs and SACs.…”
