The distinction between communicating and non-communicating intracranial arachnoidal cysts is important in medical management. Mainly the latter type will benefit from surgery which aims at establishing a communication between the cyst and the subarachnoidal space or ventricular system. We report the case history of two patients in whom congenital cerebral arachnoidal cysts are diagnosed at adult age and illustrate the role of scintigraphy with 111-In-Ca-DTPA to prove the communication of the cysts with the subarachnoidal space. This technique is safe and simple and gives less irradiation and discomfort to the patient than other methods.
在医疗管理中，交通性和非交通性颅内蛛网膜囊肿的区分很重要。主要是后一种类型将从旨在建立囊肿与蛛网膜下腔或脑室系统之间交通的手术中获益。我们报告了两名成年后被诊断为先天性脑蛛网膜囊肿的患者的病史，并说明了用111铟-钙-二乙三胺五乙酸闪烁扫描术来证明囊肿与蛛网膜下腔相通的作用。该技术安全、简单，与其他方法相比，给患者带来的辐射和不适更少。
