Sažetak
Arachnoid cysts are intra-arachnoid collections of cerebrospinal fluid ; congenital in origin, they account for about 1% of all atraumatic intracranial mass lesions. This case report describes implant-supported restorations in a 53 years old male patient with congenital giant arachnoid cyst. Enlargement of the cyst or complications such as intra-cystic bleeding or rupture of the cyst into the subdural space may be occasionally observed, and found to require neurosurgical treatment. Because of that, a multidisciplinary approach which included neurologist and anaesthesiologist was needed. According to CTs and neurological findings the cyst was located intracranially in right fronto-temporo-occipital region with size of 134 x 73 x 69 mm. The patient needed complex implant-supported restorations and fixed prosthodontic dentures, both in maxilla and mandible. After endodontic and conservative treatment of remaining maxillary and mandibulary teeth, OPGs and conventional implant therapy plan were made. During surgery under anaesthesiologist supervision, two implants were placed in region 22 and 23 and three implants were placed in region 35, 36 and 46. Period of 6 months has been recommended as healing time for osseointegrated implants in the mandible and maxilla, respectively, during which functional loading should be avoided. For that purpose, teeth-retained metalsupported veneered bridges were made as provisional prosthodontic treatment. Following the period of osseointegration provisional veneered bridges were removed and definitive porcelain-fused-to-gold crowns and bridges were made. Regular 6 months follow up has shown excellent functional and esthetical result after one year.
