Abstract

Intrasellar arachnoid cysts are rare conditions. Two cases of a large symptomatic intrasellar arachnoid cyst with a suprasellar extension are reported. A 62-year-old woman was admitted with signs of panhypopituitary syndrome with gonadotropin/growth hormone insufficiency. MR findings showed suspected cystic tumor in the sellar region. Transsphenoidal surgery was performed in a microsurgical manner with endoscopic assistance. Intrasellar finding was a septal cyst filled by CSF-like fluid without communication with the suprasellar cisterns.The cyst was opened, decompressed, and removed completely.
