A member asked:
I keep seeing that it is rare for an arachnoid cyst to grow but how rare is this actually?

My female cousin was born with one while I was in middle school. I had the opportunity to learn about arachnoid cysts, see her MRI, and call in during the doctor visit. It is quite rare, and they were reassured it would not effect her growth and development. Feel free to read the abstract of the following article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23140149/
