Is an arachnoid cyst a lesion?

What are arachnoid cysts? Arachnoid cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow on the brain and spine. They are not tumors, and they are not cancerous. On rare occasions, if they grow too big or press on other structures in the body, they can cause brain damage or movement problems.

What is a simple cyst on the brain?

A brain cyst or cystic brain lesion is a fluid-filled sac in the brain. They can be noncancer (benign) or cancer (malignant). Benign means that the growth doesn't spread to other parts of the body. A cyst may contain blood, pus, or other material. In the brain, cysts sometimes contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

How do you get an arachnoid cyst?

Most people who have arachnoid cysts are born with them. You can also get one after having a head injury, meningitis, or brain surgery. Doctors aren't sure why these cysts happen. But they may be caused by damage to the arachnoid membrane, one of the protective layers that surround your brain and spinal cord.

Can arachnoid cysts grow?

Arachnoid cysts usually are located in the skull, brain, and rarely, in the spinal cord. The arachnoid cysts can grow to a large size if they continue to retain cerebrospinal fluid. In more extreme cases the cysts' size may cause the head to change shape or may displace the surrounding lobes of the brain.

Is a brain cyst the same as a tumor?

Brain cysts located in the brain are not truly “brain tumors” because they do not arise from the brain tissue itself. Although they tend to be (benign noncancerous), they are sometimes found in parts of the brain that control vital functions.

What is considered a large arachnoid cyst in adults?

The size of arachnoid cysts varies. The average arachnoid cyst size is less than 3 cm. An arachnoid cyst size of 3 cm or greater is considered dangerous. If your cyst is in a potentially dangerous location, has enough size and is causing symptoms, minimally-invasive surgery may be an option.

How common is an arachnoid cyst?

In the United States, about 3 children in every 100 have an arachnoid cyst. Most of these cysts never cause any problems or symptoms or need any treatment. Doctors often find arachnoid cysts when they examine a child for another reason, such as after a head injury.

What happens when an arachnoid cyst ruptures?

Subdural hygroma which occurs as a result of rupture of the arachnoid cyst into the subdural space can emerge following minor head trauma, prolonged valsalva maneuver, or it can emerge spontaneously without any head trauma [4].

How is arachnoid cyst on the brain treated?

The three most common surgical treatments for arachnoid cysts in the brain are craniotomy fenestration, endoscopic cyst fenestration, or shunt placement. The nonsurgical treatment is close observation of the cyst.

What is a middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst?

Arachnoid cysts are intra-arachnoidal space-occupying lesions containing fluid similar to CSF. They are benign in nature and congenital in origin. Arachnoid cysts represent 1% of all nontraumatic intracranial masses. [1] Most arachnoid cysts are supratentorial in location and 50-65% occur in the middle cranial fossa.

What is an intracranial cyst?

An intracranial or spinal cyst which contains fluid and is composed of arachnoid cells. Intracranial arachnoid cysts may present with headaches, seizures and hydrocephalus. Spinal arachnoid cysts may present with symptoms of radiculopathy.
