Аннотация
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: An arachnoid cyst confined to the internal auditory canal is a rare condition. Different pathogeneses are discussed, and a progressive enlargement of the cysts has been reported. This case illustrates the beneficial aspect of endoscopic assistance in microsurgical resection of this lesion.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A slowly progressive hearing loss developed in a 35-year-old woman over 2 years; she reported experiencing tinnitus for 7 years. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion in the internal auditory canal appearing hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images, suggesting an arachnoid cyst.
INTERVENTION: The cyst wall was fenestrated and partially resected in an endoscope-assisted microsurgical technique. Adherent vestibular nerve fibers in the cyst wall prevented total removal of the cyst. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an arachnoid cyst.
CONCLUSION: The endoscope-assisted microsurgical technique enables a safe cyst resection with good visualization of important neurovascular structures within the internal auditory canal. Small remnants of the capsule that are firmly attached to important neurovascular structures should be left in place rather than risk neurological deficits.
