In the posterior fossa, subarachnoid cysts typically produce vague, nonspecific symptoms. Presenting symptoms can include hearing loss, imbalance and tinnitus. A subset of these lesions can produce signs and symptoms indistinguishable from those of Meniere's disease.
DIAGNOSIS OF SUBARACHNOID CYST
Contemporary diagnosis is presently based on neuroradiological tests. MRI scan commonly documents a structure that contains spinal fluid. Often there may be a question whether or not the cyst is open or closed. If it is closed, it may put pressure on cranial nerves and other CNS structures. Cisternography can be performed to determine if the cyst communicates with spinal fluid or not. If it does, surgical management is not needed.
