A Mediastinal Goitre Case That Moving Upward To Neck during a Cystoperitoneal Shunting Operation by Halil Can Kucukyildiz in BJSTR

#Arachnoids cysts (AC) are #non-tumoral and congenital lesions and constitute 1% of all intracranial space occupying lesions [1]. Ninety percent of ACs is located in the #supratentorial region and 10% are in the posterior fosse [2]. The middle cranial fosse is the most common place of the ACs (60%) other sites include seller region, cerebral convexity, and #quadrigeminal plate. The clinical signs and symptoms of ACs are relegated with their size, anatomic location and influence on the #cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Symptomatic ACs is usually diagnosed in the first or second decades of life due to increased intracranial pressure, #craniomegaly or developmental delay. The definition of meditational goiter (MG) generally refers to a stoma with location for at least 50% of its volume in substernal position [3]. MG is a rare disease that generally diagnosed incidentally, and up to 40% of MGs are asymptomatic [4]. They may cause compressive symptoms in the surrounding tissues if they are large enough.
