Pediatric brain tumors in a 10-year period from 1986 to 1995 in Yamaguchi prefecture: epidemiology and comparison with adult brain tumors.

abstract：:Intracranial congenital arachnoid cysts are benign intra-arachnoidal fluid collections with a wall composed of arachnoid cells encompassing a cavity containing a fluid similar to cerebrospinal fluid. This cavity frequently communicates with the subarachnoid space. Arachnoid cysts are reported to account for about 1% o...
