The first case of an intracranial arachnoid cyst was described by Bright in 1831. In 1935, Barlow published the first case of a suprasellar arachnoid cyst. Fewer than 200 cases of suprasellar-prepontine arachnoid cysts have been reported in the literature as of January 2011. ⋯ Suprasellar arachnoid cysts can be treated with favorable clinical and radiological results with endoscopic interventions when feasible. Results with ventriculocystocisternostomy are believed superior to those of ventriculocystostomy.
