Resumen

El tratamiento de los quistes aracnoideos sintomáticos se basa en dos opciones principalmente: su fenestración y comunicación con las cisternas subaracnoideas o la derivación mediante un sistema valvular. Los quistes multi-tabicados por su propia naturaleza, suponen un grupo con características particulares. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 75 años con un quiste aracnoideo multitabicado sintomático, con sangrado subagudo en una de sus cavidades. El diagnóstico final se alcanzó tras la realización de una RM. El quiste cambió poco con una derivación cisto-peritoneal, observándose una posterior mejoría clínica tras su fenestración al espacio subaracnoideo.

Summary

Treatment of symptomatic arachnoid cysts is based on two procedures: cyst fenestration versus derivation of CSF. Multiseptated cysts represent a very special groupp. We present the case of a 75 year oíd woman with a symptomatic multiseptated arachnoid cyst, develo-ping subacute bleeding in one of the cavities. Final diagnosis was obtained after MRI. CSF derivation became insufficient with clear improvement after fenestration and communication to subarachnoid space.
