Neurosurgery. 1983 Oct;13(4):438-40. doi: 10.1227/00006123-198310000-00017.

Abstract

We present two cases that demonstrate the occurrence of symptomatic arachnoid cysts after craniotomy. Both patients presented 1 year postoperatively with generalized seizures as the only symptom. Focal or localizing neurological signs were not present. Both patients responded well to shunting procedures.
