The association of arachnoid cysts and focal epilepsy: Hospital based case control study

Intracranial cysts are heterogeneous lesions and common findings in brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), with a broad hystopathological spectrum [1]. Two studies discovered that individuals in the general population present with a variety of abnormalities on neuroimaging: Katzman et al. (1999) reported that 18% of healthy asymptomatic subjects demonstrated incidental abnormal findings, including very rare cysts ie. nasopharygeal cysts (0.1%), choroid and pineal cysts (0.2%), and arachnoid cysts (0.3%) [2], and Vernooij et al.
