====== Intracranial arachnoid cyst fenestration ======

[[Craniotomy]] and [[fenestration]] of membranes is one of the main treatment options for symptomatic [[intracranial arachnoid cyst]]s. Open surgery advantages include, direct inspection of the cyst, biopsy sampling, fenestration in multilocular cysts and, in certain locations, cyst communication to [[basal cistern]]s
