Endoscopic approach of suprasellar arachnoid cyst

A male 3-year-old child was referred to our service due to increasing head size and mild headache. On physical examination, head circumference was 55 cm (bigger than 97th percentile), the child was conscious, alert and oriented to person, place, time and event, his pupils were isochoric, the light r...
