[Facial paralysis secondary to arachnoid cysts. Description of a case in a girl with precocious puberty].
Arachnoid cysts are unusual in childhood. We describe a case of arachnoid cyst in a girl with precocious puberty. The cyst caused facial paralysis from compression. A link between arachnoid cyst and precocious puberty was excluded by cerebral TAC. We briefly discuss the aetiology and topography of arachnoid cysts.
