Received 2011.03.06 Accepted 2011.05.23 Published 2011.06.22 Abstract Mirror-imaging of arachnoid cysts ACs in monozygotic twins MZ is extremely rare. We describe a pair of MZ who developed mirror-imaging of ACs in the temporal fossas and we also review the literature. Brain computer tomography CT and Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI of the MZ revealed mirror-imaging of vast lesions of cerebrospinal fluid intensity in their temporal fossas. This is the second ever report of such a case according to the available literature. Unlike the prior case our patients were 14 months which is a much younger age than the patients of the previous report. Consequently our case is better in supporting a genetic origin in the pathogenesis of AC. The findings in our case indicate that early neuroimaging is mandatory in the counterpart of the symptomatic patient with AC irrespective of the absence of symptoms. Key words Mirror image Arachnoid cyst Monozygotic twins Introduction A mirror image is the same features .
