Neurosurgical Department, Higashimatsuyama Municipal Hospital, Saitama.

A cystplastic cyst-subarachnoid shunt procedure using a ventricular catheter of Denver type shunt system was performed in seven patients with non-communicating middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst. The operation technique consists of: linear incision of the outer membrane of arachnoid cyst and intrusion into the cyst; followed by a 5 mm incision of both the inner membrane of the arachnoid cyst and the arachnoid membrane; insertion of a 2-3 cm length of the ventricular catheter, cut as required with silk thread bound around the midpoint of the tube, into the subarachnoid space; fixation of the tube to the arachnoid membrane by a silk thread with Weck clips; and finally suturing of the outer membrane of arachnoid cyst by a nylon thread. During the follow-up period of 3 months to 3 years after the operation, the symptoms were relieved in all patients, and no recurrence or complication was observed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D016080	Arachnoid Cysts	Intracranial or spinal cavities containing a cerebrospinal-like fluid, the wall of which is composed of arachnoidal cells. They are most often developmental or related to trauma. Intracranial arachnoid cysts usually occur adjacent to arachnoidal cistern and may present with HYDROCEPHALUS; HEADACHE; SEIZURES; and focal neurologic signs.
