“…Spinal arachnoid cysts are mostly congenital in origin. Acquired arachnoid cyst formation has been reported with myelography, arachnoiditis, meningitis, ankylosing spondylitis, trauma, extra‐axial tumours, tuberculosis and subdural haematomas 9–14 . These cysts are frequently associated with syrinx formation in the cord and/or cord atrophy.…”

[9][10][11][12][13][14] These cysts are frequently associated with syrinx formation in the cord and/or cord atrophy. Smaller arachnoid cysts can be confirmed with myelography and CT myelography but may not be obvious on MRI in the absence of mass effect.…”

The reported incidence of clinically significant arachnoiditis following oil-based contrast media myelography is approximately 1%. The incidence of arachnoiditis in the dorsal spine is even more rare. Acquired arachnoid cyst formation can occur with arachnoiditis of various aetiologies. A case is presented of a patient with chronic backache, radiculopathy, weakness and muscle wasting, who had undergone myelography with oil-based contrast media about 28 years ago. There was no history of spinal surgery, spinal canal stenosis, disc disease or trauma, all of which are known to increase the risk of arachnoiditis. Magnetic resonance imaging features are presented in this case of arachnoiditis with arachnoid cyst formation, and cord tethering.

Arachnoid cyst are fluid-filled that are located between the arachnoid and piamater or duplicationof arachnoid membrane. Extradural arachnoid cysts in the spine are rare and primary are congenital or acquired. These are occurring idiopathic, posttraumatic and post arachnoiditis. A 32 year-old male patient is became a clinic with urinary retention and gait disorders. Thoracic Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed a spinal extradurally cystic mass isointense with that cerebro-spinal fluid at T7-8 level. Patient underwent an operation. The diagnosis of arachnoid cyst was made based on histopathology exam. The case was reported due to very rare occurrence of this entity.

“…The causes and natural history of arachnoid cysts are unclear, and multiple causative factors have been proposed; these include previous trauma [11,12,20], inflammation, surgery [13,21], subarachnoid hemorrhage, congenital origin [14], or idiopathic. Most spinal intradural arachnoid cysts are thought to be congenital [16], but multiple etiologic theories have been proposed.…”

Thoracic spinal intradural arachnoid cyst: report of two cases and review of literature

et al. 2001

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We report two cases of spinal intradural arachnoid cyst at the thoracic level, presenting with long-standing symptoms of spinal cord compression and MRI findings that were overlooked for sometime initially. Because of the rarity of this disease, and because of the subtle changes on MRI, there was a definite delay in the diagnosis. In this report we emphasize the value of MRI and CT myelography in this disorder, and the need for them to be strongly correlated with the progression of the clinical picture.

Posttraumatic spinal subarachnoid cyst

Abstract: A case of posttraumatic compressive subarachnoid cyst of the thoracic spine studied by MR myelography, and myelo-CT is reported. This cyst was surgically confirmed and treated by shunting.
