Overview
Arachnoid cysts occur in about 1.2% of the general population and are more frequently seen in men than in women.
Epidemiology
- The prevalence of arachnoid cysts is estimated to be about 1.2% of the general population;
- They are more frequently seen in men than in women;
- 50% occur in the middle cranial fossa;
- One third of the cases occur in the posterior fossa;
- Temporal cysts are 70% left-sided.[1]
- Only 20% of these have symptoms, usually from secondary hydrocephalus.[2]
