ABSTRACT
Cerebral vasospasm is associated with significant morbidity, and most commonly occurs following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Rarely, vasospasm can follow tumor resection and traumatic brain injury. We present the first reported case of a young child who developed diffuse vasospasm following open fenestration of an arachnoid cyst and was promptly treated, with full recovery of neurologic function. Although vasopasm after arachnoid cyst fenestration is rare, it can be included in the differential for a new focal neurologic deficit.
