Abstract
Introduction: Arachnoid cysts are non-malignant malformations mainly relating to the arachnoid mater. Arachnoid cysts involving the posterior fossa are less common and are most often found in the cerebellopontine angle. Common presenting complaints include headache, visual disturbances, gait disturbances, and seizures.
Case Summary: This is a case of a 4-year-old male child with a retrocerebellar arachnoid cyst treated in the outpatient department of the National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata, India. The presenting complaints included trembling of the whole body since one year, which was completely resolved within 18 months of individualised homoeopathic treatment. The case was thoroughly analysed and treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine Calcarea phosphorica in LM potency as the main medicine, and Tuberculinum 10M as an anti-miasmatic medicine. Regular follow-ups were taken and the patient improved significantly both symptomatically as well as clinically, assessed by MRI. This case shows the true potential of individualised homoeopathic medicines in treating such rare cases.
