“…Congenital arachnoid cysts (CAC) account for 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions [19,29]. Some are found incidentally at autopsy [11,19,29], However, with improved diagnostic methods more of these are discov ered [8,19,29], Most cysts are discovered in the first 2 decades of life [13,29,30,43] with as many as 60-80% being discovered by 16 years of age [32].…”

“…The incidence is greater in males than females [13,30,43]. Most cysts are in the middle cranial fossa [6,29,44], the next most common site being the posterior cranial fossa [6,29], Bilateral middle cranial fossa cysts and retroclival cysts are very rare; only nine cases of the former have been reported [28,39].…”

“…6 An arachnoid cyst is an intracranial benign, nongenetic developmental cyst which contains spinal fluid and occurs within the arachnoid membrane. 7 The exact mechanism of formation during embryogenesis is still unclear. Postulated mechanisms of the enlargement of these cysts include secretion by the cells forming the cyst walls, a one way valve, or liquid movements secondary to the pulsations of the veins.…”

“…37,49 Cysts are filled with CSF, occur in 0.7% to 1.7% of the general population, 56,76 and are found most commonly on the left side with a 3:1 male to female predilection. 37,78 Several reviews have discussed the risk of SDH or hygroma associated with ACs after head trauma.…”
