Arachnoid cyst and arachnoiditis following idiopathic spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
We describe 8 years follow-up of a case of arachnoid cyst developing after spinal subarachnoid haemorrhage. The cyst was removed by hemilaminectomy; an arachnoid cyst of the same size was again observed by MRI 2 weeks later. We suggest that conservative approach could be the best choice.
