Resumen

La sintomatología relacionada con la presencia de quistes aracnoideos en el sistema nervioso central dependerá del tamaño del quiste y de su velocidad de crecimiento, su localización y, en algunos casos, de la posible alteración de dinámica de LCR asociada. En ocasiones la clínica se presenta de forma brusca por rotura del quiste o sangrado agudo. Aunque se acepta de forma general que los quistes asintomáticos o paucisintomáticos no precisan tratamiento quirúrgico, no existe consenso respecto a la actitud terapéutica de elección en los casos sintomáticos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es el de revisar la literatura analizando los pros y contras de las 3 opciones quirúrgicas principales (microcirugía, neuroendoscopia y derivación de LCR) en función principalmente de la localización de la lesión. Aunque el tratamiento debe ser siempre individualizado para cada caso, pueden ofrecerse unas recomendaciones generales de manejo.

Abstract

The symptoms related to the presence of arachnoid cysts in the Central Nervous System depend on the size of the cyst and its growth rate, its location and, in some cases, the associated CSF dynamic disorder. Sometimes there is acute clinical presentation due to cyst rupture or acute bleeding. Although it is generally accepted that asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic cysts do not require surgical treatment, there is no consensus on the therapeutic approach of choice in symptomatic cases. The aim of this paper is to review the literature, analyzing the pros and cons of the three main surgical options (microsurgery, neuroendoscopy, and CSF shunt) based primarily on the location of the cyst. Although treatment must be always individualized, basic management recommendations may be offered.
