Abstract
Introduction. Arachnoid cysts (AC) occur in 1-3% of children. There is sacs with spinal fluid between brain and arachnoid membrane. Only about 6% of intracranial AC manifest clinically. AC can be complicated by hemorrhage with traumatic brain injury and spontaneously. Materials and methods. We have described a clinical case of AC, complicated by hemorrhage with the subdural hematoma after brain injury and literature review. There is unusually that after drainage of the hematoma, complete resolution of the AK was noted (the only such case described in the literature). Conclusion. The asymptomatic AC can be complicated by hemorrhage due brain injury or spontaneously. Due to the high elastic properties of the brain in children, complete regression of even long-existing AC is possible.
