Core Tip
Core Tip: Although intracranial epencephalon arachnoid cysts (IEACs) are rare, patients may become symptomatic due to cyst enlargement. In these patients, surgical intervention is required. I here report a case of intraparenchymal hemorrhage as a rare complication after the surgical decompression of an IEAC. This case indicated that patient’s condition should be carefully reviewed after operation in case of fatal complications.
