dc.description.abstractIntroduction Two different approaches to fenestration, endoscopic and microsurgical, are in use for Sylvian arachnoid cysts (SACs), the most frequent among intracranial arachnoid cysts. We presented the clinical data and compared our results, with regard to technique and clinical success, with either microsurgical or neuroendoscopic fenestration of SACs. Materials and methods Twenty-nine patients who subjected to cysto-cisternostomy by the same team, using either of the two methods, were studied retrospectively. Results Thirteen patients underwent microsurgery, and 16 had endoscopic cysto-cisternostomy. No reoperation was needed in either of these groups, i.e., full clinical and radiological success was achieved in both. The complication rate was 23% in the microsurgery patients and 47% in the endoscopic surgery group, with no statistically significant difference. Conclusions No relevant differences between the two methods are seen either in the published data or in our results. Adding our results to the published data, both techniques were reviewed in a discussion of the one that allows a better controlled or safer fenestration. We conclude that endoscopic fenestration of SACs is not superior to microsurgical cyst fenestration, and the latter seems safer.en_US
