Anon - While the exact cause of arachnoid cysts isn't known, researchers believe most cases are due to developmental malformations that come from a splitting or tearing of the arachnoid membrane. It's highly unlikely that your fall caused the arachnoid cyst. What's more likely is that the fall enabled you to have the tests which found it. Are you receiving medical care for this? Have your doctors made any recommendations on what you should do? Please let us know.
Take care, Pat
