Abstract

Based on a macro- and microscopic analysis of the material of 2 section cases and 29 biopsies of persons operated on for arachnoidal cysts two types of cysts were distinguished: 1) arachnoidal cysts that occurred as a result of isolated congenital pathology of the leptomeninx; 2) cysts representing a manifestation of the combined developmental abnormality of the CNS occurring in the form of arachnoidal cysts coupled with intracerebral ones and with pathology of the adjacent cortical parts in the form of gross impairment of its architectonics and developmental abnormality of cerebral vessels.

MR imaging of Liliequist's membrane.

Liliequist's membrane is an arachnoid structure well-known to neurosurgeons. However, the importance of this membrane had been lost until the development of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV). ETV is superior in its minimal invasiveness, but in some subgroups of hydrocephalus, the effectiveness of ETV may be reduced. Liliequist's membrane may block the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow from the defect of the third ventricle floor, which may cause failure of ETV. Liliequist's membrane can be visualized on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in normal healthy individuals, however, its visibility is different among individuals. CSF artifacts exist to varying degrees, but do not impede visualization of Liliequist's membrane in most subjects. Since Liliequist's membrane is a cisternal structure, the three-dimensional (3D) constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequence is useful. The outcome of ETV could be predicted with MR imaging findings of Liliequist's membrane in a patient with obstructive hydrocephalus. High-field (> or =3 Tesla) MR imaging of Liliequist's membrane also offers superior resolution and is expected to provide additional information about Liliequist's membrane.
