Some scientists debate whether arachnoid cysts are a true congenite condition or if this should be separated from secondary cysts. [20] A recent study shows differences in communication between the arachnoid cyst and the subarachnoid space by CT cisternography. [21]
These classification of cysts are embedded in the endoderm (inner layer) and the ectoderm (outer layer) of the cranial or spinal cord germ layers.They normally take over the neuraxis, the axis of the central nervous system that determines how the nervous system is placed, which allows the cysts to infiltrate the CNS tissues.

Absent tibia-polydactyly-arachnoid cyst syndrome, also known as Holmes-Collins syndrome, is a very rare multi-systemic hereditary disorder which is characterized by facial dysmorphisms, [1] pre/post-axial polydactyly, toe syndactyly, missing/underdeveloped tibia bone, and the presence of a retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst.
The terms "Tarlov cyst" or "sacral perineural cyst" refer to cystic lesions of the spinal meninges with innervation as well as nerve sheath dilatations with subarachnoid communication. While they were once thought to be a histopathological finding, [ 10 ] they can be radiologically confirmed by specialized time lapsed MRI and CT imaging ...
arachnoid cysts; neuroepithelial cysts; Perivascular spaces are distinguished on an MRI by several key features. The spaces appear as distinct round or oval entities with a signal intensity visually equivalent to that of cerebrospinal fluid in the subarachnoid space.
Arachnoid cysts represent <1% of intracranial lesions, with the Sylvian fissure being the most common location, most predominant in males on the left side. [4] Cysts are often discovered incidentally during imaging, and most common associated symptoms are headaches, seizures, and motor deficit due to the pressure the cyst applies to the ...
Arachnoid cyst: A defect caused when CSF forms a collection that is trapped in the arachnoid membranes. The resulting cyst can then block the normal flow of CSF from the brain resulting in hydrocephalus as well as other defects. The most common locations for an arachnoid cyst are the middle fossa and the posterior fossa. The most common ...
In juveniles, an arachnoid cyst is a risk factor for subdural hematoma. [12] ... On a CT scan, subdural hematomas are classically crescent-shaped, with a concave ...
