#Arachnoids cysts (AC) are #non-tumoral and congenital lesions
and constitute 1% of all intracranial space occupying lesions
[1]. Ninety percent of ACs is located in the #supratentorial region
and 10% are in the posterior fosse [2]. The middle cranial fosse
is the most common place of the ACs (60%) other sites include
seller region, cerebral convexity, and #quadrigeminal plate. The
clinical signs and symptoms of ACs are relegated with their size,
anatomic location and influence on the #cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Symptomatic ACs is usually diagnosed in the first or second
decades of life due to increased intracranial pressure, #craniomegaly
or developmental delay. The definition of meditational goiter (MG)
generally refers to a stoma with location for at least 50% of its
volume in substernal position [3]. MG is a rare disease that generally
diagnosed incidentally, and up to 40% of MGs are asymptomatic [4].
They may cause compressive symptoms in the surrounding tissues
if they are large enough.
