Prenatal ultrasound is generally the first\u2010line imaging modality, whereas fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides complementary information regarding lesion origin and associated intracranial abnormalities. After diagnosis, serial ultrasonographic follow\u2010up is recommended to monitor lesion evolution and fetal well\u2010being. We report a fetus referred at 23\u2009weeks' gestation with a presumed arachnoid cyst. Serial prenatal ultrasonography demonstrated antenatal regression, and postnatal ultrasonography, brain MRI, and MRV confirmed complete resolution with normal patency of the major dural venous sinuses. This case illustrates a recognized diagnostic pitfall in the evaluation of midline posterior intracranial cystic\u2010appearing lesions and highlights the complementary roles of Doppler ultrasound, fetal MRI, and postnatal venous follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.70405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,12]],"date-time":"2026-09-12T07:41:01Z","timestamp":1789198861000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Torcular Herophili Thrombosis Initially Suspected to Represent an Arachnoid Cyst: A Prenatal Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8402-5675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmet","family":"Kurt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Gemlik State Hospital  Bursa Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1492-0305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dilara Sarikaya","family":"Kurt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Mudanya State Hospital  Bursa Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9602-9099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murat Levent","family":"Dereli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Perinatology Denizli State Hospital  Denizli Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1177\/159101990300900413","article-title":"Dural Sinus Malformations (DSM) With Giant Lakes, in Neonates and Infants: Review of 30 Consecutive Cases","volume":"9","author":"Barbosa M.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Interventional Neuroradiology"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"536","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-011-2287-9","article-title":"Fetal MR Imaging of Posterior Intracranial Dural Sinus Thrombosis: A Report of Three Cases With Variable Outcomes","volume":"42","author":"Byrd S.
