Scope note: Cavidades intracraneales o espinales que contienen un líquido semejante al cefalorraquídeo. Sus paredes están constituidas por células aracnoideas. Suelen relacionarese con el desarrollo o con un trauma. Los quistes aracnoideos intracraneales suelen ser adyacentes a la cisterna aracnoidea y pueden presentarse con HIDROCEFALIA, CEFALEA, CONVULSIONES y signos neurológicos focales. Los quistes aracnoideos espinales pueden ser extradurales, intradurales, o perineurales y tienden a presentarse con signos y síntomas que indican una RADICULOPATÍA.

Scope note: Intracranial or spinal cavities containing a cerebrospinal-like fluid, the wall of which is composed of arachnoidal cells. They are most often developmental or related to trauma. Intracranial arachnoid cysts usually occur adjacent to arachnoidal cistern and may present with HYDROCEPHALUS; HEADACHE; SEIZURES; and focal neurologic signs.
