Sellar cysticercosis is a rare form of neurocysticercosis. A septum pellucidum cysts is a rare, often asymptomatic cystic structure between the lateral ventricles. We report here a male patient with sellar cysticercosis and septum pellucidum cysts who was successfully treated by neuroendoscopic resection. The patient was a 28-year-old male who presented with intermittent headaches for 5 years. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a well-circumscribed 13 mm cystic space-occupying lesion in the sellar region and the cavum septum pellucidum. The cyst in the saddle area was completely resected via endoscopic endonasal-transsphenoidal approach. Postoperative histological examination verified cysticerci in the cyst wall. To our knowledge, this is the first case of sellar cysticercosis and a septum pellucidum cyst successfully treated through neuroendoscopic resection.
鞍区囊尾蚴病是神经囊尾蚴病的一种罕见形式。透明隔囊肿是侧脑室之间一种罕见的、通常无症状的囊性结构。我们在此报告一名患有鞍区囊尾蚴病和透明隔囊肿的男性患者，该患者通过神经内镜切除术成功治愈。患者为一名28岁男性，有5年间歇性头痛病史。脑部磁共振成像（MRI）显示鞍区和透明隔腔有一个边界清晰的13毫米囊性占位性病变。通过鼻内镜经蝶窦入路完全切除了鞍区囊肿。术后组织学检查证实囊壁中有囊尾蚴。据我们所知，这是首例通过神经内镜切除术成功治疗的鞍区囊尾蚴病合并透明隔囊肿病例。
