Sumario:Bilateral retrocerebellar arachnoid cysts are exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 38-year-old woman, who presented with progressive vertigo and was found to have bilateral retrocerebellar arachnoid cysts. The patient’s clinical presentation was most consistent with benign positional peripheral vertigo, while the cysts were thought to be incidental findings. We review the literature on bilateral retrocerebellar arachnoid cysts and discuss their management.
