Spinal arachnoid cysts are mostly intradural. Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst (SEAC) is very rare condition accounting for only 1% cases of spinal tumors. [1,2,3] SEAC is mostly found in males in their second to fifth decades. Most common location of SEAC is thoracic spine

Mr Myelography

Giant dorsolumbar spinal arachnoid cysts are a complex, poorly understood, and difficult to manage clinical entity. Traditional CT myelography is technically difficult to use in these cases to detect the site of leakage preoperatively. The authors report a novel technique for detecting the site of the leak by using sequential, dynamic intraoperative MR myelography. To the authors’ knowledge, there is no other similar report in the literature.

Compressive Myelopathy

ABSTRACTSpinal arachnoid cysts are uncommon benign lesions of spine axis and most commonly present as compressive myelopathy. Intramedullary arachnoid cyst is uncommonly seen, hence, not much discussed in literature. Due to rarity of this entity, many questions are yet to be answered and should be addressed properly, particularly related to etiopathogenesis, accustomed course, behavior, differential diagnosis, and the best treatment modality. We report the clinicopathological profile of thoracic intramedullary arachnoid cysts in two adult patients, and present a detailed review of available literature on the spinal intramedullary arachnoid cyst. Most of the literature concerning with intramedullary arachnoid cysts are in the form of case reports from pediatrics population. As far to the best of our knowledge, only a few cases excluding our two were found in both pediatrics and adult population.

Endoscopic Fenestration

Intracranial arachnoid cysts are a rare condition thought to be congenital in nature. Treatment of intracranial arachnoid cysts remains controversial based on their variable presentation. Treatment options include CSF shunting, endoscopic fenestration, or craniotomy and open fenestration for larger cysts. The complications of these procedures can include hydrocephalus, subdural hematomas, hygromas, and—more rarely—intraparenchymal hemorrhage. The authors found very few reports of hemorrhagic infarction as a complication of arachnoid cyst fenestration in the literature. The authors report a case of an 18-year-old female patient who suffered an ipsilateral hemorrhagic infarction after craniotomy for open fenestration of an arachnoid cyst.

Peripheral Vertigo

ABSTRACT Arachnoid cysts constitute 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions. These typically produce vague and nonspecific symptoms. However, a subset of these lesions can produce constellation of signs and symptoms indistinguishable from those causing peripheral vertigo. We discuss the presentation of a giant arachnoid cyst which presented with dizziness and mimicked benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood (BPVC).

Extradural Arachnoid Cyst

Abstract A rare congenital arachnoid cyst of the orbital optic nerve affecting a 5-year-old boy is described and the relevant literature is reviewed. On the basis of the macro- and microscopic features of the reported case, an analogy is suggested between the observed optic nerve cyst and the extradural arachnoid cyst of the spinal canal, Moreover, the hypotheses put forward to explain the pathogenesis of spinal extradural arachnoid cysts may also account for the exceptional appearance of a similar cyst in the orbital portion of the optic nerve.

✓ Intracranial arachnoid cysts are relatively rare; it is believed that they account for only 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions. When they occur in the intracranial cavity, they usually develop in relation to an arachnoid cistern as a pocket of cerebrospinal fluid within two layers of arachnoid membrane. Five cases of intradiploic arachnoid cysts have been reported, but an arachnoid cyst presenting as an extradural mass has not been described before. The authors present an unusual case of hemorrhage into a massive intracranial extradural arachnoid cyst with no intradural communication.
