cranial fossa arachnoid cyst
Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt. Object. Arachnoid cysts located in the middle cranial fossa are common, comprising about half of all intracranial. arachnoid cysts. The management of these cysts is challenging, and the optimal surgical treatment is controversial. This study evaluates the role of endoscopy in the treatment of middle cranial fossa arachnoid cysts (MCFACs) in. children, focusing on some factors or technical aspects that might influence the outcome. Methods. Thirty-two children with symptomatic MCFACs were the subject of this study.
About 15-20% of brain tumors in adults occur in the posterior fossa. Certain types of posterior fossa tumors, such as medulloblastoma, pineoblastoma, ependymomas, primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), and astrocytomas of the cerebellum and brain stem, occur more frequently in children.
