“…These malformations are benign, most often congenital, extra-axial and represent 1% of all intracranial lesions [2][3][4]. By location, they can be classified into two major groups: Supratentorial AC (46-90%) and Infratentorial AC (5-48%) [5][6][7][8][9]. Supratentorial cysts are most commonly located in the middle fossa (32-60%), while posterior fossa arachnoid cysts (PFAC) are predominantly retro cerebellar (35-85%) [10,11].…”

“…Supratentorial cysts are most commonly located in the middle fossa (32-60%), while posterior fossa arachnoid cysts (PFAC) are predominantly retro cerebellar (35-85%) [10,11]. AC can be classified as primary (congenital) and secondary [6,12]. The primary ones originate from the separation of arachnoid membranes during embryological development, due to a circumscribed increase in the pulsation of cerebrospinal fluid [7].…”

Arachnoid cysts are collections of cerebrospinal fluid surrounded by an arachnoid membrane. Most of them are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally on imaging studies. Others reveal themselves with a variety of clinical symptoms depending on their size and location. Although most located in the temporal fossa, cysts can be found in any compartment of the brain or spinal cord. Posterior fossa arachnoid cysts (PFAC) account for 5-48% of all arachnoid cysts. In this case series, we analyze relevant features of 27 PFAC reviewed in an ataxia and other rare diseases clinic.
