Multiple extradural arachnoid cysts at the spinal cord and cauda equina levels in the young
Abstract
Study design: A case report of multiple extradural arachnoid cysts at the spinal cord and cauda equina levels in the young.
Objective: To report an exceedingly rare case of multiple extradural arachnoid cysts at the spinal cord and cauda equina levels in the young.
Setting: Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tokai, Japan.
Case report: An 11-year-old boy was diagnosed with multiple extradural arachnoid cysts at the spinal cord and cauda equina levels extending from the T5 to L5 vertebrae and surgery was performed. At 2 years after surgery, no recurrence was observed and muscle weakness of the lower extremities and sensory disturbance improved.
Conclusion: Excision of only the arachnoid cysts at the spinal cord level led to a favorable outcome.
