  • Title: Extradural meningeal cyst. Case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Roski RA, Rekate HL, Kurczynski TW, Kaufman B.
    Journal: Childs Brain; 1984; 11(4):270-9. PubMed ID: 6744990.
    Abstract:
    Extradural meningeal cysts are rare spinal lesions. The clinical presentation is most often characterized by a slowly progressive spastic paraparesis, frequently associated with pain. Adequate drainage of the cyst with obliteration of the neck of the cyst or complete removal of the cyst can bring about a permanent resolution of the symptoms. The use of somatosensory cortical evoked responses also has an important role in the surgical management of this problem.
