Multiple communicating intradural arachnoid cysts: usefulness of myelography and myelo-computed tomography using both lumbar and cervical punctures. Case report

Neurosurg Rev. 1997;20(2):94-8. doi: 10.1007/BF01138190.

Abstract

We report a case of multiple communicating intradural cystic lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging did not demonstrate the lesions. Neuroradiological diagnosis of the intradural arachnoid cysts was made from myelography and myelo-computed tomography using both lumbar and cervical punctures. These procedures give us useful information about flow dynamics in the spinal subarachnoid space.
