description 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.

We review the literature on bilateral retrocerebellar arachnoid cysts and discuss their management.
