“…Although many of ACs are symptoms free during childhood and may be diagnosed in adulthood, either because they become symptomatic or because they are incidental findings 2 as it was seen in our patient where the cyst was classified Galassi I and it was therefore of incidental discovery. Symptomatology is directly related to the patients’ age.…”

“…Arachnoid cyst (AC) is a benign intracranial lesion that is formed by an arachnoid membrane containing a fluid similar in its chemical characteristics to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It represents up to 1% of all space-occupying intracranial lesions and approximately half are located in the temporal fossa 1 , 2 . AC is the most frequently founded lesion reported in adolescent patients suffering from chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH).…”

Introduction and importance: Arachnoid cyst (AC) is the most frequently founded lesion reported in adolescent patients suffering from chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Association between these two distinct clinical entities is known for a long time. However, in the literature there are numerous clinical cases that reflect this relationship and few large series that analyze them in detail. Pediatric population is more rarely affected with this association. Case presentation: The authors report the case of AC of incidental discovery complicated with CSDH in 15-year-old male recreational boxer presented with progressive onset of holocranial drug-resistant throbbing headache with favorable clinical course after conservative treatment. Clinical Discussion: ACs are a well-known predisposing cause for CSDH after head trauma. In all cases of CSDH in children, the diagnosis of ruptured AC should be considered. Rupture may be spontaneous or following even mild head trauma with rupture of bridging veins causing subdural bleeding as it was seen in our patient who was practicing a full-contact free-sparring sport like boxing sustaining repeated and direct mild head traumas. MRI is recommended to detect small cysts in adolescents with CSDH. The management of these patients remains controversial. Conclusion: This is a rare reported case of CSDH complicating an AC in a juvenile recreational male boxer. This association remains extremely rare in children and adolescents, as evidenced by the rare cases reported in the literature.

“…Hemos leído con interés el reciente reporte de caso titulado: "Quiste aracnoideo intraventricular asintomático: reporte de un caso", de Franco LJ et al (1) y en base a nuestra experiencia en el manejo de los quistes aracnoideos nos gustaría hacer algunos comentarios (2,3).…”

“…En primer lugar, coincidimos con los autores que la localización intraventricular de los quistes aracnoideos (QA) es muy poco frecuente sobre todo cuando analizamos casuísticas de pacientes adultos (2,3) y esta poca incidencia se debe a que en condiciones normales no hay membrana aracnoidea dentro del sistema ventricular. En estos casos se piensa que su origen es a partir de la capa ependimaria de la tela coroidea que cubre el mesénquima vascular, el cual se proyecta en el ventrículo lateral a través de la fisura coroidea (2). a la aracnoides) no es vascularizada por lo que su comportamiento sin y con contraste es idéntico (4).…”
