Background: Arachnoid cysts (ACs) are collections of cerebrospinal fluids (CSFs) that develop within the arachnoid layer of the meninges. Sellar ACs are comparatively rare. In general, ACs account for approximately 1% of all intracranial mass lesions, and sellar ACs are 3% of all intracranial ACs. An endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach for the treatment of ACs by fenestrating the cyst’s wall and connecting with the subarachnoid space is the most optimal option. Case Description: A 74-year-old woman whose sellar AC was diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging a year ago was admitted to our hospital with complaints of bitemporal hemianopia and diminished visual acuity in the past 2 months. Sellar AC was diagnosed based on the clinical history and presentation, as well as neurologic, endocrinologic, and ophthalmologic examinations, including visual acuity and visual field examination, and additional imaging findings. The patient with a sellar/suprasellar AC was treated by an endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach with cyst drainage and perforation of the lamina terminalis. Postoperatively, the visual disturbances improved markedly. No surgery-related complications occurred. Conclusion: The endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach remains a minimally invasive and preferred approach for the treatment of sellar/suprasellar ACs. Hermetically reconstructing the sellar floor is an effective method to prevent CSF leakage.

“…While suprasellar arachnoid cysts usually present with symptoms due to the local mass effect in children, the rarer intrasellar arachnoid cysts are regarded as acquired and may become symptomatic later in life [7][8][9]. Clinical symptoms may include increased intracranial pressure, hormone deficiency, gait disturbance, and visual impairment.…”

The pituitary and parasellar region is an anatomically complex area where a number of neoplastic, infectious, inflammatory, developmental and vascular pathologies can occur. Differentiation among various etiologies may not always be easy, since many of these lesions may mimic the clinical, endocrinologic and radiologic presentations of pituitary adenomas. The diagnostics of sellar lesions involves a multidisciplinary effort, and detailed endocrinologic, ophthalmologic and neurologic testing is essential. CT and, mainly, MRI are the imaging modalities to study and characterize normal anatomy and the majority of pathologic processes in this region. This article provides an overview of the relevant radiologic characteristics together with clinical findings of pituitary tumors, vascular, inflammatory and infectious lesions found in the pituitary and parasellar region in order to propose an appropriate differential diagnosis.Raumforderungen rund um die Hypophyse. Mehr als nur Adenome ... ZusammenfassungDie Differentialdiagnostik tumoröser, entzündlicher und vaskulärer Läsionen der Hypophyse und parasellären Region ist häufig schwierig, da viele dieser Läsionen Hypophysenadenome klinisch, endokrinologisch und radiologisch imitieren kön-nen. Die selläre und paraselläre Region ist zudem anatomisch komplex und stellt den Neuroradiologen vor eine besondere Herausforderung -ein kleinvolumiges Organ in anatomisch und teilweise auch funktionell sehr enger Nachbarschaft zu einer Vielzahl von Nachbarstrukturen muss mit hoher Orts-und Kontrastauflösung abgebildet werden, um die oft nur wenige Millimeter großen Läsionen zu erfassen. Anatomische Varianten ohne Krankheitswert können die Differentialdiagnose zudem erschweren. Ein multidisziplinärer Ansatz auch mit detaillierter endokrinologischer Testung ist daher entscheidend. Die Magnetresonanztomographie hat als sensitivste Methode in der Diagnostik intra-und parasellärer Läsionen alle anderen bildgebenden Verfahren verdrängt. Diese Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über die radiologischen Charakteristika der häufigsten Läsionen in der und um die Hypophyse.Schlüsselwörter: Adenom · Entzündung · Hypophyse · Magnetresonanztomographie · Parasellär · Vaskulär · Tumor
