Abstract

Intracranial arachnoid cysts are uncommon congenital lesions of considerable interest and importance, the origins and exact nature of which remain uncertain. They account for about 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions4). Its predilection sites are in the sylvian fissure, the interhemispheral fissure, the cerebral convexity, the base of the brain, and over the midline of the cerebellum in the posterior fossa6)11). We are reporting a case of arachnoid cyst, developed in the left sylvian fissure in a ten years old male patient.
