Abstrakt: This article, published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery, discusses the management of giant arachnoid cysts (GACs), which are rare intracranial pathologies. The article presents a case study of a 33-year-old male patient with memory issues, bitemporal hemianopsia, and bilateral optic atrophy, who underwent an endoscopic transcortical transventricular fenestration procedure to treat the interpeduncular GAC. The patient experienced a complete resolution of their visual symptoms and made a smooth recovery after the procedure. The article highlights the importance of fenestration in decompressing the cyst and promoting cerebrospinal fluid flow to prevent symptomatic relapse. [Extracted from the article]
