Patients with arachnoid cysts may never show symptoms, even in some cases where the cyst is large. Therefore, while the presence of symptoms may provoke further clinical investigation, symptoms independent of further data cannot—and should not—be interpreted as evidence of a cyst's existence, size, location, or potential functional impact on the patient.
These classification of cysts are embedded in the endoderm (inner layer) and the ectoderm (outer layer) of the cranial or spinal cord germ layers.They normally take over the neuraxis, the axis of the central nervous system that determines how the nervous system is placed, which allows the cysts to infiltrate the CNS tissues.

Syringomyelia is a generic term referring to a disorder in which a cyst or cavity forms within the spinal cord. Often, syringomyelia is used as a generic term before an etiology is determined. [3] This cyst, called a syrinx, can expand and elongate over time, destroying the spinal cord.
Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid covered by arachnoidal cells that may develop on the brain or spinal cord. [14] They are a congenital disorder, and in some cases may not show symptoms. However, if there is a large cyst, symptoms may include headache, seizures, ataxia (lack of muscle control), hemiparesis, and several others.
Arachnoiditis is an inflammatory condition of the arachnoid mater or 'arachnoid', one of the membranes known as meninges that surround and protect the central nervous system. The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater (Latin for hard) and adheres to inner surface of the skull and vertebrae. [ 1 ]
Common symptoms of chronic inflammation include fatigue, joint or muscle pain, long-lasting digestive issues, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, skin problems (like eczema or acne) and ...
Most BCCs appear on areas of the body that receive regular sun exposure (including the arms, head and neck). It isn’t a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer, and it's usually very ...
Arachnoid cysts represent <1% of intracranial lesions, with the Sylvian fissure being the most common location, most predominant in males on the left side. [4] Cysts are often discovered incidentally during imaging, and most common associated symptoms are headaches, seizures, and motor deficit due to the pressure the cyst applies to the ...
