Article Abstract
Cerebral aneurysms and arachnoid cysts are relatively common cerebral malformations and the use of recent modalities has increased their detection rates. However, cerebral aneurysms associated with arachnoid cysts are unusual. We describe two cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms associated with arachnoid cysts. According to previous reports, clinical presentation may sometimes be unusual, as cysts can prevent subarachnoid hemorrhage. Moreover, in some cases, CT may reveal typical arachnoid cysts without subarachnoid hemorrhage, without intracystic hematoma, or with subdural hematoma alone. These clinical presentations and radiologic findings can lead to delayed diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Therefore, we should consider the coexistence of arachnoid cyst in case of a warning sign of aneurysm rupture.

Postdural Puncture Headache in a Patient With Thoracic Arachnoid Web With Known Joint Hypermobility: Case Report.
Pain Med Case Rep

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA.
Background: Patients with connective tissue disorders (CTDs), such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, can present unique challenges in the management of spinal pathology and procedural complications due to underlying tissue fragility and susceptibility to dural ruptures. Thus, there is a need for less invasive diagnostic and therapeutic care in this population.
Case Report: We present a case of a 48-year-old woman with joint hypermobility who developed acute-on-chronic back pain and radicular symptoms.

Background: Spinal arachnoid cysts can cause myelopathy through spinal cord compression. While MRI is the standard for diagnosis, traditional sequences may not clearly define cyst borders and septations, which are important for guiding surgical intervention. Balanced fast field echo (B-FFE) is an MRI sequence that highlights small arachnoid membranes within and at the borders of CSF spaces.

Although they are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, they can also present with serious complications such as hemorrhage or rupture. This study aims to highlight the clinical presentation, radiological findings, and surgical management of complicated symptomatic arachnoid cysts in a case series.

Introduction: Full-endoscopic spinal surgery (monoportal endoscopy) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative for managing intradural spinal pathologies, offering reduced morbidity and accelerated recovery compared to conventional techniques.
Research Question: What is the current evidence on the effectiveness, limitations, and future prospects of full-endoscopic spinal surgery for intradural pathologies?
Material And Methods: A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Electronic databases (Cochrane, OVID-MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus) were searched for studies published from 2000 to 2024.

A quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cyst is an extremely rare cause of trigeminal neuralgia in adulthood. This report presents the fourth case in the literature of trigeminal neuralgia caused by a giant quadrigeminal cistern arachnoid cyst. A 52-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of cerebellar ataxia and vertigo.
