✓The authors report three patients with abdominal pseudocysts and one with cerebrospinal fluid ascites as late complications of ventriculoperitoneal shunts. The presenting signs and symptoms were those of an intraabdominal abnormality, with no neurological symptoms suggestive of shunt malfunction.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Arachnoid cysts within the fourth ventricle have rarely been reported in the literature. Different procedures have been performed to restore a normal cerebrospinal fluid dynamic or pressure, including shunting and partial or complete excision of the cyst by open microsurgery. Cerebrospinal fluid shunts give only partial improvement of symptoms and are prone to malfunctions. The microsurgical excision of the cyst seems to offer the best chance of success. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report the case of a fourth ventricle arachnoid cyst successfully treated with a complete endoscopic cerebral procedure via the third ventricle. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic fenestration of fourth ventricle arachnoid cysts may be considered an effective neurosurgical treatment.
