Spinal extradural meningeal cysts that contain nerve fibers: case report

M N Bucci et al. Neurosurgery. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

We describe a case of extradural meningeal cysts of the lumbar spine that contain nerve fibers. These lesions are anatomically distinct from both perineurial and meningeal cysts. Drainage and suturing of the cyst walls to the dorsal dura mater was effective in relieving the clinical symptoms.
