Arachnoid Cysts
A benign, fluid-filled sac on the brain’s surface — usually harmless and simply observed.
In brief
- A benign, fluid-filled sac between the brain and its coverings
- Present from birth; a simple, benign fluid accumulation that is never cancerous
- Usually found incidentally and causes no symptoms
- Diagnosed on MRI or CT
- Most require no treatment; surgery is reserved for rare symptomatic cysts
