Abstract

We reviewed operative results of 9 patients with chronic subdural hematoma accompanied with arachnoid cyst and also 9patients with arachnoid cyst. We also reviewed incidence and age distribution of patients with arachnoid cyst founded by CTscan out of 14998 patients in our university hospital between 1979 and 1986. As for surgical treatment of arachnoid cyst with cyst-peritoneal shunt is considered good treatment of choice. Considering possible disappearance of arachnoid cyst, some of them may not need operation, if they are followed closely. Unsupported vessels on the surface of arachnoid cysts are most likely course of chronic subdural hematoma.
