Magnetic resonance imaging of a spinal extradural arachnoid cyst

K S Kim et al. Surg Neurol. 1986 Sep.

Abstract

A case of extradural arachnoid cyst in the spinal canal of a 16-year-old male was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging. The diagnosis was verified by a metrizamide-enhanced computed tomographic myelogram. An operation with a favorable outcome followed. The noninvasive advantages of magnetic resonance imaging in such a diagnosis are demonstrated by this case.
