    Arachnoid cysts, often found in the sylvian cistern, can cause seizures, hydrocephalus, and developmental delays. Early recognition and surgical intervention are crucial for managing these neurological conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Arachnoid cysts are congenital malformations that can lead to significant neurological deficits.
    • Their varied locations and presentations pose diagnostic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical and radiological features of 26 arachnoid cyst cases.
    • To discuss diagnostic considerations and the role of surgical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of clinical presentations, radiological findings, and treatment outcomes.
    • Discussion of differential diagnoses for suprasellar cysts.

    Main Results:

    • 54% of cysts were in the sylvian cistern; 1.2% in the suprasellar cistern.

  • Common presentations included seizures (30.8%), hydrocephalus (23%), and developmental delay (61.5%).
  • Male predominance and left-sided lesions were noted; trauma/infection accounted for 35%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arachnoid cysts present with diverse neurological symptoms, necessitating accurate diagnosis.
    • Radiological assessment is key, particularly for suprasellar cysts.
    • Surgical intervention plays a vital role in managing symptomatic arachnoid cysts.
