Progressive Quadriparesis of a Toddler with a Posterior Cranial Fossa Arachnoid Cyst (AC): Illustrative Case Report and Narrative Literature Review
Up to the present report, postoperative complete resolution of quadriparesis secondary to a posterior cranial fossa arachnoid cyst has not been reported. At present, no therapeutic modality has been established as the definitive standard of care for pediatric ACs, and their management raises a great deal of controversy among neurosurgeons. The narrative literature review of the present study integrates the various perspectives regarding ACs and their possible treatment approaches that are currently available.
