Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and (123)I‐ioflupane SPECT (DATScan™) of the case. (A) T2 FLAIR axial MRI depicting the preoperative arachnoid cyst located in the left fronto‐temporal region compressing the brainstem and basal ganglia. (B) T2 FLAIR axial MRI taken 2 years after left arachnoid cyst fenestration with near complete resolution of the mass effect and patient symptoms. (C) DATScan™ depicting major dopaminergic denervation on left side before arachnoid cyst surgery and no dopaminergic denervation on right side. (D) DATScan™ 2 years after left arachnoid cyst fenestration with normalization of dopaminergic denervation on left side.
