Hello Anonymous,

Are you under a physician's care to treat your high blood pressure? That is a dangerously high reading, especially for a 20 year old.

The exact cause of a primary arachnoid cyst is unknown — it develops in a fetus during pregnancy, but nobody knows why. Secondary cysts can be caused by trauma (a fall, accident, or other injury), illness (meningitis or brain tumor), or as a complication of brain surgery.

In most cases, arachnoid cysts are present at birth, so I do not think there is a correlation between the development of an arachnoid cyst and hypertension, which is not normally seen in infants. Talk with your doctor about this.

Regards,
Maryann
