I don't really know what an "arachnoid cyst" is -
in the dictionary it says :A fluid-filled cyst lined with arachnoid membrane, frequently situated in the sylvian fissure of the brain
.. So I'm thinking yeah it probably could. Granted, I have no medical license.
I will say this: If you're asking because you have a lump on your head and it worries you enough to query online: Go to the Doctor please. Head injuries are not kewl - very serious. That's where your brain is!!
Now, my mom always told me if it goes out (like a bump) and it's not squishy then it's OK - call that a learning bump. If it's dented in or if it is squishy then we get worried.
Hope this helps.
