Arachnoid Cyst

Axial T2
Axial Flair

Axial T1


Axial T1 post gad

DWI


Most important differential:
Epidermoid Cyst (sebaceous cyst).

Differentiating points:
1. Arachnoid cyst shows no restriction on DWI, Epidermoids highly restrict!
2. Arachnoid cysts lose signal on FLAIR (iso to CSF), while epidermoids will be hyper to CSF on FLAIR.
