Purpose The indication of surgical treatment for intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) is a controversial issue. In this study, we reviewed surgical outcomes of intracranial ACs that were treated with endoscopic fenestration or microscopic fenestration, which are currently standard practices for surgical treatment of AC. In addition, we also evaluated the validity of current surgical indications. Methods We analyzed pediatric patients under 18?years of age who underwent surgical management for intracranial AC between January 2000 and December 2011. Patients with a follow-up period of less than 1?year were excluded. A total of 75 patients were enrolled in this study. These patients were assessed by subjective symptoms and by a clinician’s objective evaluation. The radiological assessment of AC after surgery was also evaluated. Results The median age of patients at the initial operation was 5?years. The median follow-up period was 38?months. The goal of surgery was achieved in 28?% (21/75) of patients. The radiological alteration of AC after initial fenestration surgery was diverse. The results of the clinical and radiological assessments did not always coincide. A total of 35 complications occurred in 28 patients. Subdural fluid collection was the most common unexpected radiological complication. Conclusions Our study showed that the fenestration procedure for AC produced unsatisfactory clinical improvements compared to the relatively high complication rate. Therefore, surgical treatment for AC should be strictly limited to patients who have symptoms directly related to AC.
