Spinal arachnoid cysts associated with syringomyelia: a review of the literature and report of a case

Abstract: Syringomyelia is a not infrequent pathology that develops related to changes in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics due to many etiological factors. The development of syringomyelia through a spinal arachnoid cyst is quite rare and has been defined in only 31 cases in the literature. A case due to thoracic epidural lipomatosis has also been reported. There have been no previous reports of thoracic region epidural lipomatosis with underlying arachnoid cyst and syringomyelia as in our case. We present a 27-year-old pat… Show more

“…Considering that arachnoid cysts of the spinal cord preferentially occur at the thoracic level. 2 ) We speculate that the pre-existing arachnoid cyst was denatured and collapsed owing to chronic compression, which progressed gradually with aging to form the arachnoid web which in turn caused the syringomyelia through CSF obstruction.…”

“… 1 ) Nevertheless, arachnoid cysts occurring in the thoracic vertebrae have been reported to lead to syringomyelia. 2 ) Recently, the “arachnoid web” has been linked to arachnoid cysts, which could also cause syringomyelia at the thoracic vertebral levels. The arachnoid web was first reported in the 1970s.…”
