“…[44] Reviewing the literature, we found 57 reports published during 1976-2019, with a total number of 183 cases of CSDH in association with AC with age ranging between 3 years and 58 years [Table 1]. [1,7,8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][20][21][22]25,26,29,30,33,34,36,39,40,42,45,46,48,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60]63,64,[66][67][68][69][70][71] ere were 31 single case reports, 12 publications reporting on 2-3 patients, and 14 case series reporting on 5-16 patients. ere are some data to support that the coexistence of CSDH and AC is not incidental, and two pathogenic mechanisms were proposed to explain such association.…”

Background: Arachnoid cysts (ACs) are benign, congenital, fluid-filled collection between two layers of the arachnoid membrane accounting for about 1% of all the intracranial space occupying lesions. These lesions are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography scan imaging (CT). However, these lesions can present as spontaneous chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) causing neurological deficits that require neurosurgical intervention. Case Description: We report a case of CSDH associated with AC in a 14-year-old Kuwaiti boy who presented with a 2 weeks history of headache, which was worsening over the time. Brain CT scan demonstrated a left frontotemporal large CSDH in contact with an underlying temporal AC that appeared isodense to the CSF. The patient underwent an emergency surgery to evacuate the CSDH through a burr hole, while the AC was left intact. During the postoperative period, the patient showed good recovery in terms of neurological symptoms. Follow-up MRI showed stable size of the AC with no recurrence of the CSDH. Conclusion: Literature’s review was done to determine the best surgical approach in treating spontaneous CSDH associated with AC. Burr hole evacuation of CSDH with irrigation only, leaving the AC intact, is a successful surgical approach for treatment and was associated with good outcome.

“…However, in rare incidences they may occur concomitantly, and in these cases, the recurrence rate of CSDH increases. 1 3 5 12 14) Although an acceptable method for treating primary CSDH is burr-hole trephination, a consensus for recurrent CSDH has not been reached yet. Many studies have applied and reviewed various methods of treating the recurrence, but no recognized treatment guideline has been developed.…”

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a collection of old blood and its breakdown products between the surface of the brain parenchyma and the outermost layer called the dura. The most common treatment option for primary CSDH is burr-hole trephination; however, the treatment method for recurrent CSDH is still widely debated. An arachnoid cyst (AC) is a sac filled with cerebrospinal fluid located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid membrane, which is one of the three meninges covering the brain or spinal cord. Although it is rare, the cyst is associated with CSDH in juveniles, and the recurrence rate of CSDH increases in such cases. Much of the literature has supported the preventive role of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization in recurrent CSDH. We report a 13-year-old male patient with recurrent CSDH and AC where the early intervention of MMA embolization was proven effective in preventing the further recurrence of CSDH.
