title: [Cerebral arachnoid cysts in children with local bulging of the skull (author's transl)].
abstract: A series is reported of 9 cases of supratentorial arachnoid cysts in children under the age of 14 years. The predominant clinical and radiological sign is local bulging of the skull, caused by the underlying cyst. The characteristic angiographic findings and anomalies in the phlebogram are discussed. Operative measures (trephination and ventriculo-auricular shunt) aim at restoration of the disturbed cerebrospinal fluid circulation and resection of the wall of the cyst. Selection of patients for operative measures and results of treatment are discussed.
