Abstract Background Arachnoid cysts are extra parenchymal, intra-arachnoid fluid collections of unknown origin, similar in content to cerebrospinal fluid. Suprasellar arachnoid cysts are a rarer localization resulting from abnormalities of the Liliequist membrane or cystic dilatation of the interpeduncular cisterna. We aimed to contribute to the literature by presenting a series of suprasellar arachnoid cyst cases with endoscopic intervention and long-term results. Methods This study analyzed radiographic data, clinical symptoms, surgical records, and videos of giant arachnoid cysts that underwent endoscopic surgery between 2013 and 2023. Cyst volumes and Evan’s indexes were calculated both preoperatively and postoperatively. Results The patient population consisted of 3 males (21.4%, 3/14 patients) and 11 females (78.5%, 11/14 patients). Their age at the time of surgery ranged from 1 year to 56 years (mean: 14.4 years). Of the total 14 patients, 4 (28.5%, 4/14 patients) were adults (age ≥ 18 years), and 10 (71.4%, 10/14 patients) were pediatric (age |
