Key points
- Rapid enlargement of antenatally diagnosed arachnoid cysts can occur in the perinatal period.
- Appropriate postnatal management usually leads to a good outcome (in the absence of other intracranial anomalies and a normal karyotype).
- Treatment, if necessary, involves draining the fluid through surgery or shunting.
