“…They believed that the potential adhesion of the arachnoid membrane and the decompression effect of the operation may create pores in the arachnoid membrane and the check valve, which were the 2 reasons for the postoperative arachnoid cyst of the patient. Yuen et al [ 15 ] first studied the incidence of intradural arachnoid cysts in lumbar spine patients after surgery, and they believed that the phenomenon of intradural arachnoid cysts after surgery was more common in our expectation, and it was a reason for the persistence of postoperative pain. In 2022, Kawasaki et al [ 16 ] reported a case of asymptomatic subdural arachnoid cyst after laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis, and they suggested that it is very rare to develop a postoperative subdural arachnoid cyst without a dural incision during surgery.…”

Background: Unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) has been widely and skillfully used in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and spinal canal stenosis. UBE surgery also brings some complications, such as dural tear, epidural hematoma, residual nucleus pulposus, etc. And we found a rare case of arachnoid cyst after UBE. Case presentation: A 48 years old female who had a history of cholecystectomy, nephrolithiasis, hyperthyroidism, chronic atrophic gastritis, and colonic polyps with several years of low back pain and numbness in both lower limbs was found have arachnoid cyst 3 years after UBE operation. We hope that we can give a new aspect of complication after the UBE treatment in the future. Conclusion: We believe that the postoperative hypertension and the lack of postoperative back muscle strength training and some personal factors are the possible reasons for the arachnoid cyst in this case.
