Overview
Physical examination is generally not very useful as most cases of arachnoid cysts are diagnosed incidentally, but in larger cysts, depending of the affected region, there may be some findings.
Physical Examination
- The majority of the arachnoid cysts are asymptomatic;
- Physical examination findings are more frequent in the large cysts and may be very diverse due to the fact that the symptoms often vary with the location;
- Some of the most prevalent physical examination are:
- Ataxia;
- Hearing loss;
- Visual changes;[1]
- There's a case report from UCLA of a female patient who presented with altered mental status and speech abnormalities.[2]
