title: [Clinical picture and roentgenoradiological diagnosis of suprasellar cerebrospinal fluid cysts in children].
abstract: Suprasellar cysts containing cerebrospinal fluid are considered a rare pathological condition. Characteristic symptom complexes in children are discussed on the basis of 12 cases. It is assumed that signs of affection of the chiasma and optic nerves in slowly progressive hydrocephalus, diencephalic disorders, and hyperkinesis suggest the presence of a suprasellar cyst. The authors present data on the use of diagnostic methods of examination and give their opinion on the informative value of these methods: craniography, gamma-topography and radionuclide cisterno- and ventriculography, computerized tomography, and computerized-tomographic cisterno- and ventriculography.
