Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Nöroşirürji Kliniği, Cebeci-Ankara Cavum Vergae cysts are developmental cysts of the midline of the brain. They usually have no clinical manifestations. These cysts rarely enlarge and become symptomatic causing significant neurological dysfunction. The treatment of these lesions remains a controversial issue. In this report we present a case with symptoms related directly to pressure effect from the cyst to the neighbouring brain structures.

The cysto-cisternal shunt was used via open surgery for our patient. Significant clinical and radiological improvement was achieved by this surgical method. Anahtar Kelimeler : Cavum vergae cyst, cystocisternal shunt
