Abstract
- Suprasellar cistern is uncommon location where the arachnoid cysts involve and only sporadic case reports are seen in the world literature. A case of suprasellar arachnoid cyst is reported, which mimicked such clinically common perisellar lesions as pituitary adenoma, empty sellar syndrome, dermoid cysts, etc., and could be differentiated from them preoperatively with C.T. scan and pneumoencephalography.
