Abstract
Arachnoid cysts (AC) are one of the common pathologies encountered in pediatric neurosurgical settings. It comes to clinical attention more often incidentally but also more often than previously due to the wide availability of diagnostic imaging. However, the accurate incidence and prevalence remain unknown. There is an ongoing debate on symptomatology, indications of treatment, and best treatment modalities. In this review, we aimed to discuss the current general knowledge about the arachnoid cyst, focusing on the etiology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology. Specific findings related to locations, such as the Sylvian fissure, are also emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
