Arachnoid Cyst

Axial T2

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.

What's your Dx?
