Intrasellar cysticercosis cyst treated with a transciliary supraorbital keyhole approach – A case report

摘要

Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic disease affecting the central nervous system. Isolated sellar cysticercosis cysts are rare and can mimic other sellar lesion as cystic pituitary adenoma, arachnoid cyst, Rathke cleft cyst, or craniopharyngioma. The surgical resection is mandatory because the cysticidal drugs are ineffective, however, new microsurgical approaches are emerging to reduce complications and need to test in this condition. We present a patient with a sellar cysticercosis cyst treated by transciliar supraorbital keyhole approach.
