  • Title: Intracranial Intra-arachnoid Diverticula and Cyst-like Abnormalities of the Brain.
    Author: Platt S, Hicks J, Matiasek L.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2016 Mar; 46(2):253-63. PubMed ID: 26704659.
    Abstract:
    Primary intracranial cystic or cyst-like lesions include intra-arachnoid, epidermoid, dermoid, and choroid plexus cysts. Differentiation of these cystic lesions can usually be accomplished by imaging studies alone; however, some cysts are similar in appearance and require histopathology for definitive diagnosis. Clinical signs often reflect the location of the cysts within the intracranial cavity rather than the type of cyst. If clinical signs are significant and progressive, surgical removal is warranted and may be successful, although cystic contents could be harmful if allowed to contact surrounding brain parenchyma or meninges.
