What are arachnoid cysts?Arachnoid cysts are the most common brain cysts. They are not tumors but sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid (the protective fluid that coats and protects the brain and spinal cord). Arachnoid cysts happen when the arachnoid membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord, splits. When the membrane breaks, fluid collects inside, forming a cyst. Most arachnoid cysts don’t cause symptoms.The location and size of an…

In this case, something disrupts blood flow to the spinal cord. Spinal cord infarction can happen anywhere along the spinal cord. It’…
