Abstract
Suprasellar arachnoid cysts are rare lesions that constitute approximately 5-12.5% of all arachnoid cysts. We present a male infant diagnosed in utero with suprasellar arachnoid cyst and treated with endoscopic ventriculocystocisternotomy on the 38th day of life. The patient developed hyponatremia as a result of cerebral salt wasting after the operation.
Key words
suprasellar arachnoid cyst - endoscopic ventriculocystocisternotomy - hyponatremia - cerebral salt wasting - in utero diagnosis
