Abstract

•Intracranial cysts are associated with a number of vascular lesions.•They predominantly occur in larger, partially-thrombosed aneurysms and in older patients.•There is a trend towards enlargement over time if untreated and a likelihood of recurrence following treatment.•We hypothesise the cysts arise either from dilated Virchow-Robin spaces and/or inflammatory processes.

Keywords: Aneurysm; Cyst; Parenchymal; Perianeurysmal; Series; Virchow Robin space.
