  • Title: Arachnoid cysts of the middle cranial fossa: a clinical and radiological study of 25 cases treated surgically.
    Author: Galassi E, Piazza G, Gaist G, Frank F.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1980 Sep; 14(3):211-9. PubMed ID: 7434187.
    Abstract:
    Arachnoid cysts of the middle cranial fossa are probably not so infrequent as previously thought. Twenty-five cases are reported together with the most relevant clinical and radiological findings. The authors emphasize the importance of computerized tomography (CT) in providing pre- and postoperative anatomical and physiopathological information. The potential morbidity of these lesions is stressed and surgical indications are discussed with preference for a radical craniotomy rather than a shunt procedure.
