A rare case of bilateral arachnoid cysts of the middle cranial fossa in a child successfully treated by partial excision of their walls is reported. Patients with bilateral arachnoid cysts are usually severely disabled, presumably due to primary dysgenesis of the operculum; however, in our case no primary dysgenesis was noted and the operative result was excellent.
