Arachnoid cyst
Etiology

Congenital developement anomaly of arachonoid membrane.

The cysts are formed from splitting or the arachnoid membrane, the cysts are intra-arachnoid to be exact.

Aquired arachnoid cysts are different. These cysts develope following meningitis, hemorrhage, trauma or neurosurgary.

Macroscopic appearance
  • Smooth thin walled unilocular or septate cyst containing clear fluid
  • Approximately 50% are localized supratentorial in the Sylvian fissure 25% are infratentorial
  • spinal cysts are also common
Histology

Discontinuited meningotelial layer, connective tissue.
