shaped-shaped, limited to the anterior portion of the middle cranial fossa, usually with free communication of CT cisternography (CTC) - type II: superior extent along sylvian fissure with displacement of the temporal lobe
- type III: large, fills the whole middle cranial fossa, with displacement of not only the temporal lobe but also the frontal and parietal lobes. Little communication with subarachnoid space on CTC
