Figure 1From: Suprasellar cysts: clinical presentation, surgical indications, and optimal surgical treatment Intraoperative photographs of the SSC. A: Bluish-colored apical dome of the suprasellar cyst. B: The capsule of the cyst was shrunk down until the aqueduct was clearly visible. C: A large fenestration was made in the apical membrane of suprasellar cyst. D, E, F, G: The displaced cisternal contents in the cyst. H, I: Fenestration of the basal cyst membrane. BA = basilar artery; PA = P1 segment of posterior cerebral artery; PCA = posterior communicating artery; AN = abducent nerve; BM = basal membrane of the arachnoid cyst; P = pons; IS = infundibular stalk; PG = pituitary gland; CA = carotid artery; D = dorsum sellae; TN = trigeminal nerve; Aqueduct of mesencephalon (red arrow); Fenestration of the basal membrane of the cyst (black arrows).Back to article page
