Middle Fossa and Sylvian Fissure Arachnoid Cysts Associated With Intracystic Hemorrhage and Subdural Hematoma

Conclusions: The annual hemorrhage risk for patients with middle cranial fossa cysts remains very low. However, when hemorrhage occurs, in most occasions it can be effectively managed only by hematoma evacuation; however, occasionally microsurgical and endoscopic cyst-wall fenestration to basal cisterns and, rarely, cystoperitoneal shunt might be needed.
