    Abstract:
    Arachnoid cysts are usually asymptomatic, benign lesions commonly occurring in the middle cranial fossa. However, the cysts may rupture in rare cases causing intracystic or subdural hemorrhages with significant mass effect. We report two cases of middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst with subdural hemorrhage with very different clinical course. The first case presented with significant mass effect with cerebral herniation and had significant neurological morbidity post-surgery. The second case had minimal symptoms and was managed conservatively with offer of elective surgery. The report underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention in managing arachnoid cysts with hemorrhage, highlighting the potential for diverse clinical presentations and outcomes.
