Abstract
Six patients with arachnoidal cysts of the middle cranial fossa who presented with raised intracranial pressure are described. All of them had a history of trauma though in two of them it was a remote incident. They all showed radiological changes of an expanded middle cranial fossa and temporal lobe agenesis. The relationship of trauma to these congenital lesions is discussed.
