Background: Intracystic hematoma in arachnoid cyst are a very rare pathology that commonly occurs after head trauma, while spontaneous intracystic hematomas in arachnoid cyst associated with subdural hematoma is extremely rare. Currently there are 33 patients of spontaneous intracystic hematomas in arachnoid cyst reported in the literature. In this case report we present an adult patient with concomitant chronic subdural hematoma with intracystic hematoma in arachnoid cyst.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old Egyptian Arabian female patient presented to the outpatient clinic complaining of severe headache of 1-month duration that was progressive in nature. Provisionally, it was thought that it might be an arachnoid cyst with associated chronic subdural hematoma along with intracystic hematoma. Decision to proceed with craniotomy and cyst evacuation was made.
Conclusion: Concomitant intracystic hematoma in arachnoid cyst along with subdural hematoma is a serious condition that might be life-threatening if not well managed.

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition presenting with poor motor skill development and impaired coordination at a young age. To diagnose DCD, neurologic conditions explanatory for the phenotype, including structural brain abnormalities like hydrocephalus, must be first ruled out. However, these neurologic conditions may phenotypically mimic DCD, which can hamper their distinction.

Background/objectives: Intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) may be congenital, primary, or secondary due to trauma. These cysts are benign, contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and are classified based on location, size, and their clinical symptomatology. They are uncommon lesions in children, rarely leading to severe mass-effect neurological symptomatology.

Background: Spinal epidural arachnoid cysts (SEACs) are rare, non-neoplastic pathologies that can cause compressive myelopathy. Preoperative identification of the exact fistula location is crucial for minimally invasive management.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 27 patients with SEACs who underwent "double-needle puncture myelography" to precisely localize the fistula before minimally invasive surgery.
