2 Learning objectives To assess the main radiological features of intracranial arachnoid cyst. To know the clinical presentation, evolution and complications that are associated with the arachnoid cyst. Background Arachnoid cysts (AC) are benign lesions that are formed between the inner and outer layers of the arachnoid. They are #lled with clear cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and they do not have direct communication with the ventricular system. The origin of these cysts is thought to be congenital by dysgenesis in embryological development of subarachnoid space. Other causes have also been attributed to trauma, mastoiditis, meningitis, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. AC account for 1% of all intracranial space occupying lesions. The size varies, from small and incidental to a large lesions that cause raised intracranial pressure and / or direct compression of cranial structures. The most common associated symptoms include headache, epilepsy, motor and sensory disorders and endocrine disorders. They can cause bone remodeling and macrocrania. About 25% of cases are found incidentally on CT and MRI of asymptomatic patients. The incidence is higher in men than in women. Most are detected in less than 16 years. In its evolution over time can increase in size, decrease or remain stable. Cases of spontaneous resolution have been reported, some of them after a head injury. Two thirds of the AC are located in the supratentorial space, half of which are in the middle cranial fossa. Other locations include the suprasellar region, convexity, interhemispheric, and intraventricular. The remaining third are located in the posterior fossa. Fig. 1 on page 3 In 1980 Galassi et al classified arachnoid cysts of middle cranial fossa into three types according to their size and effect on neighboring structures. Page 2 of 21
3 Fig. 2: Galassi classification References: Zaragoza, Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet - Zaragoza/ES Type I: small size, located in the anterior temporal lobe. No mass effect Type II: medium-size, located in the anterior and middle temporal fossa. Temporal lobe displaced. Type III: constitutes a large oval or round cyst that fills the entire temporal fossa. Large mass effect. Images for this section: Page 3 of 21

6 Findings and procedure details RADIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS: Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosis. CT imaging of an AC will show a noncalcified homogeneous extra-axial cystic lesion, similar to LCR attenuation that does not enhance with contrast administration and produces remodeling of adjacent bone structures. MRI is a useful tool for diagnostic complementation. On MRI AC has the same signal intensity as CSF at all sequences. AC will suppress completely on fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging and will not demonstrate restriction on diffusionweighted images, therefore are hypointense on these sequences Fig. 3 on page 7 Intracystic bleeding or high concentrations of proteins may change the signal intensity. AC displace adjacent nerves and cranial vessels rather than engulf them. The use of phase-contrast (PC) cine MR imaging allows for observation of the CSF flow between the subarachnoid space to the interior of the cyst. On the PC cine MRI to observe hyperitense or hypointense areas within the AC means that the cyst and the subarachnoid space are communicated. Differentiation of communicating cysts and noncommunicating ones can be useful for surgical planning. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS The clinical manifestations will depend on the size of the cyst and its location Fig. 4 on page 8. Small cysts are often incidental findings Fig. 5 on page 9, while large cysts are usually symptomatic. When they are too large can cause raised intracranial pressure and / or direct compression of cranial structures. They can cause bone remodeling, in young children may produce macrocrania and / or cranial asymmetry Fig. 6 on page 10. The AC have also been associated with delayed psychomotor development. In older children the predominant symptom is headache Fig. 7 on page 11, and up to 25% of cases may be associated with seizures Fig. 8 on page 12 Cysts in the chiasmatic region can produce visual disturbances and endocrine disorders due to compromise of the hypothalamus-pituitary. Fig. 9 on page 13. The AC can Page 6 of 21
7 produce hydrocephalus by compression of the third ventricle and the fourth ventricle when they are located in the posterior fossa. COMPLICATIONS: Complications are rare but potentially serious, among these include subdural hematoma Fig. 10 on page 14, intracystic hemorrhage, acute cyst expansion and subdural hygroma Fig. 11 on page 15, Fig. 12 on page 16 and Fig. 13 on page 17. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS The main differential diagnosis will do with epidermoid cysts, which look identical to CSF on CT and MRI, but epidermoids cysts do not supress completely on FLAIR sequences and they restrict on diffusion -weighted images. Fig. 14 on page 18 TREATMENT Surgical treatment, either by craniotomy, endoscopic fenestration, needle aspiration or cystoperitoneal shunting Fig. 15 on page 19 is reserved for cases of large cysts, symptomatic or complicated. Expectant management is recommended for patients with small and asymptomatic cysts. Images for this section: Page 7 of 21
8 Fig. 3: A 12 year old boy who was admitted in our hospital with diplopia. The CT scan shows AC of the right temporal fossa. The cyst has the same signal intensity as CSF at all MRI sequences and does not enhance with contrast administration. It produces a discrete mass effect on frontal lobe and the right temporal lobe is hypoplastic. Right middle cerebral artery is slightly displaced by the cyst. Page 8 of 21
9 Fig. 4: A and B): Coronal FIESTA (Fast Imaging employing steady-state acquisition) images, show an arachnoid cyst in the right cerebellopontine angle with mass effect and brainstem displacement to the left side. There are displacement vessels and left cranial nerves VII-VIII (arrow), which may explain the symptoms. The right cranial nerve VIII is also somewhat compressed. C) Transverse diffusion-weighted MR image shows no restriction. Page 9 of 21

Also presents mild mass effect on the left hemisphere and ventricular system. Page 16 of 21
17 Fig. 12: A, B and C Postoperative MRI at 4 months from patient of figure 11. D, F and E initial imaging. The arachnoid cyst in the right temporal lobe is smaller than the initial imaging (arrow). The subdural hygromas have disappeared. B and C) MRI shows a septum pellucidum cyst (asterisk) that was not observed in the initial study due to mass effect on the lateral ventricles. Page 17 of 21
18 Fig. 13: A 3-year-old boy was seen in our hospital because of headache, vomiting and drowsiness. He had a head injury a month ago. A-E) MR imaging and CT scan show bilateral hygromas (arrows) and a large arachnoid cyst in the left temporal fossa which produces minimal displacement of the optic chiasm (arrowhead). A mega cisterna magna as normal variant is observed (asterisk). He underwent surgery with placement of a cystoperitoneal shunt. F) Control TC scan two years later, disappearance of AC is observed. After the ruptue, these cysts may decrease in size and even disappear. Page 18 of 21
