  • Title: Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst: review of surgical techniques.
    Author: Payer M, Brühlhart K.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2011 Apr; 18(4):559-60. PubMed ID: 21256754.
    Abstract:
    Extradural arachnoid cysts of the spine are a rare cause of spinal cord and nerve root compression, usually in the mid to lower thoracic spine and at the thoraco-lumbar junction in a posterior position. Local pain and myelopathy occur predominantly in young adults, and MRI reveals a well-demarcated extradural lesion, iso-intense to cerebrospinal fluid. We report a 33-year-old woman with an extradural arachnoid cyst from T11 to L1 and review the surgical techniques reported in the literature.
