S F Ciricillo et al. J Neurosurg. 1990 Feb.

Abstract

The authors report the case of a patient harboring a posterior fossa neuroepithelial cyst who presented with positional facial weakness and syncope. The patient recovered rapidly after cyst fenestration and placement of an internal cyst-cisternal shunt. The pathogenesis and principles of diagnosis and management of these rare lesions are reviewed.
