Characteristic and Management of Symptomatic Septum Pellucidum Cyst in Extreme Elderly Patient: Case Report and Literature Review
Septum pellucidum cyst is rare and is defined as a fluid-filled space between the lateral ventricles; it has a width of 10 mm or more. In this case report, a surgical patient of symptomatic septum pellucidum cyst (SPC) in extreme age is described. To the best our knowledge, this is the first report...

description | Septum pellucidum cyst is rare and is defined as a fluid-filled space between the lateral ventricles; it has a width of 10 mm or more. In this case report, a surgical patient of symptomatic septum pellucidum cyst (SPC) in extreme age is described. To the best our knowledge, this is the first report of an extremely aged patient with symptomatic SPC that was successfully treated using a flexible neuroendoscope. An 85-year-old male complained of gradually worsening gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence without headache and was admitted to our hospital. MRI revealed a huge cyst between the lateral ventricles as well as ventricle dilatation with periventricular hyperintensity in T2-weighted image. The patient was diagnosed with symptomatic hydrocephalus with SPC and underwent neuroendoscopic fenestration of the cyst with the use of a flexible endoscope without cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement. Immediately after the surgery, the patient's gait disturbance and dementia were dramatically improved. In extremely aged patients, SPC tended to develop with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus-like symptoms, including gait disturbance without increasing intracranial pressure, sensorimotor disturbances, and psychological disorders. Neuroendoscopic cyst fenestration with the use of a flexible scope for SPC is a less-invasive procedure and should be considered even for extreme elderly symptomatic patients. |
