  • Title: Bilateral arachnoid cysts, seizures and severe encephalopathy: case report.
    Author: Pascual-Castroviejo I, Pascual-Pascual SI.
    Journal: Neuropediatrics; 1994 Feb; 25(1):42-3. PubMed ID: 8208351.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented of a 3 1/2-year-old girl with a clinical picture of very severe psychomotor retardation, autistic behavior, and repetitive convulsive episodes starting in the neonatal period and resistant to any pharmacological treatment. Electroencephalography showed generalized abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain disclosed arachnoid cysts in both temporal fossae with marked hypoplasia of both temporal lobes. It is proposed that the severity of symptoms is related to the magnitude of underlying anatomical lesions as well as the associated intractable epilepsy.
