摘要：

Arachnoid cysts are congenital CSF collections that arise adjacent to arachnoid cisterns. These lesions can be incidental neuroimaging findings but may also cause symptoms and necessitate treatment, particularly in children. The authors present their experience with a male infant harboring a large suprasellar-prepontine arachnoid cyst who underwent spontaneous decompression into the ventricular system, as evidenced by a visualized CSF flow jet observed on routine MR imaging.
