Patients with arachnoid cysts may never show symptoms, even in some cases where the cyst is large. Therefore, while the presence of symptoms may provoke further clinical investigation, symptoms independent of further data cannot—and should not—be interpreted as evidence of a cyst's existence, size, location, or potential functional impact on the patient.
These cysts can affect all germ layers of the CNS, but are most common in the arachnoid mater, and the ventricular space, which may block CSF pathways. [citation needed] These cysts can be static (stationary) or progressive. Some examples of cysts originating from the CNS tissue include: [citation needed] Arachnoid cysts (Leptomeningeal cysts)
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 cysts may be found anterior to the sacral area and have been known to extend into the abdominal cavity. These cysts, though rare, can be found to grow large - over 3–4 centimetres (1.2–1.6 in) in size, often causing severe abdominal pain from compression on the cyst itself as well as adjoining nerves.

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 ...
Benign cyst kidney; radiological appearances mimic renal cancer, A cyst / s ɪ s t / is a closed sac, having a distinct envelope and division compared with the nearby tissue.Hence, it is a cluster of cells that have grouped together to form a sac (like the manner in which water molecules group together to form a bubble); however, the distinguishing aspect of a cyst is that the cells forming ...
Arachnoiditis is an inflammatory condition of the arachnoid mater or 'arachnoid', one of the membranes known as meninges that surround and protect the central nervous system. The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater (Latin for hard) and adheres to inner surface of the skull and vertebrae. [ 1 ]
