Abstract

This article reports a case of a large intracranial arachnoid cyst in a soldier who had performed well. This is a very marvelous and interesting case. Although the cyst pressed the entire brain into the contralateral cranial cavity, the patient did not show any significant clinical symptoms and had excellent motor and cognitive abilities, reflecting the excellent plasticity of the brain tissue.

Keywords: Cerebral cystic lesions; Intracranial arachnoid cyst; Soldier.
