Choroidal Fissure Cerebrospinal Fluid-Containing Cysts: Case Series, Anatomical Consideration, and Review of the Literature
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundCerebrospinal fluid (CSF)–containing cysts at the level of the choroidal fissure are rare embryological entities infrequently described in the literature because of their benign nature. On the occasion of a case series, we present an overview of the literature and discuss anatomical and embryological location, imaging characteristics, presenting symptoms, and treatment indication of these lesions.MethodsWe identified, in a retrospective study of a database with 81 patients harboring 86 supratentorial intracranial cysts, six patients with a CSF-containing cyst at the level of the choroidal fissure. In all cases, presenting symptoms were mild and the cysts were considered a fortuitous diagnosis. None of the patients was treated surgically, and the cysts remained stable at radiological follow-up. We performed a literature search for cerebral cysts and choroidal fissure cysts in particular.ResultsOnly one large study purely addressing choroidal fissure cysts was found in the literature.ConclusionsCSF-containing cysts at the level of the choroidal fissure may be of the arachnoid or the neuroepithelial type, but pathological confirmation of a CSF-containing cyst at this specific location has never been published. Very infrequently they are symptomatic, and surgical treatment is hardly ever necessary.
