Non-traumatic intradiploic arachnoid cyst

Abstract

In this report, we present a case of non-traumatic intradiploic arachnoid cyst in a 65 year-old woman with a slow growing swelling in the right frontotemporal region without a history of head trauma, which was diagnosed intra-operatively. Extradural intracranial location of non-traumatic arachnoid cyst is a rare clinical entity with a few reported cases in the literature. Characteristic features of non-traumatic intradiploic arachnoid cysts are also described in this mini-review article.
