Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a systemic disorder well-known for its association with intracranial aneurysms. Recently, intracranial arachnoid cysts have also been reported to be associated with ADPKD. We describe a father and daughter who each has a posterior fossa arachnoid cyst and asymptomatic ADPKD. To our knowledge, this is the first report of familial occurrence of arachnoid cysts in association with ADPKD.

Key Words: autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease • familial arachnoid cyst • hypotonia

Abbreviations: ADPKD, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease • MRI, magnetic resonance imaging

Received for publication Nov 19, 2001; Accepted Apr 1, 2002.
