Computed tomography of arachnoid cysts

Radiology. 1979 Mar;130(3):675-80. doi: 10.1148/130.3.675.

Abstract

The typical CT appearance of intracranial arachnoid cysts may obviate additional neuroradiological procedures. Ventriculography using water-soluble contrast media may differentiate a suprasellar arachnoid cyst from a dilated third ventricle. Twelve cases are presented.
