Cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics in arachnoid cyst patients with persistent idiopathic intracranial hypertension: A case series and review

摘要

A clear connection has been established between arachnoid cysts (ACs) and the evolution of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a connection, which is presently not well understood. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an integral element of this condition. Little is known about either the influence of AC on CSF hydrodynamics or the specific nature of CSF, which contributes to the complex pathology of IIH.
