There were no significant associations between the location of the arachnoid cyst and the age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.99) or gender of the patient (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.13), or size (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.656) or side of the cyst (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.61).
