Posterior fossa arachnoid cysts in multiple system atrophy
The probability of having both MSA and a posterior fossa arachnoid cyst based on population study-derived point prevalence and assuming independence of the events is 1.09 e-6. We suspect that while uncommon, concurrence of the diseases is due to chance. It is plausible that space-occupying lesions, when already present, may contribute to neurodegenerative disease progression.
