Arachnoid cysts constitute 1% of all intracranial mass lesions. Arachnoid cysts are benign congenital anomalies caused by accumulation of
cerebrospinal fluid in cystic structures formed within two layers of arachnoid membranes. The aetiopathogenic and physiopathological mechanisms of
arachnoid cysts are a source of controversy. In most of the cases radiologic imaging has in valuable. It is difficult to diagnosis in utero with
ultrasonography. Pre-diagnosis is very important in terms of the prevention of the future deformation. We report a case where fetal cerebral
ultrasonography shows an extraventricular cystic formation of liquid appearance, after 32 weeks of pregnancy. ©2007, Firat University, Medical
