Abstract :

 The Arachnoid cysts are benign lesions, they are in fact space–occupying lesions containing CSF. They are rare lesions and account for only 1% of all intracranial space–occupying lesions . Psychosis on the other hand is  in itself  a major mental illness and finding a cause can be extremely difficulty. However the probable association of an underlying large arachnoid cyst with pressure effects on temporal lobe cannot be overlooked when found in such cases. Hence the temporality of cause and effect can become important during history taking as to reaching out to the etiology if at all it can be said  in that manner
