Overview
Patients with arachnoid cysts will most likely never show symptoms, even in cases where the cyst is large. Therefore, while the presence of symptoms may provoke further clinical investigation, symptoms independent of further data cannot, and should not be, interpreted as evidence of a cyst's existence, size or location.
History and Symptoms
- Symptoms vary by the size and location of the cyst, though small cysts usually have no symptoms and are discovered only incidentally.;
- They usually develop in utero, during fetal life, but they can also develop after trauma, surgeries or CNS infections;
- Larger cysts are more likely to present with symptoms as they may compress surrounding structures.
- These symptoms usually are:
- Spinal meningeal cysts, a rare form of arachnoid cysts, usually present with progressive spastic or flaccid paraparesis or quadriparesis in the second decade of life. 10% may present with monoparesis. [3]
