METHOD: We followed a two-step surgical strategy using miniature Ommaya's reservoirs in an early neonate with multiple large arachnoid cysts. CONCLUSION: Percutaneous fluid aspiration through the reservoirs placed during the first operation permitted the infant to develop sufficiently to withstand the second, more radical cyst wall excision.
