Article Synopsis
- Spinal arachnoid cysts are uncommon lesions typically found in the thoracic and thoracolumbar regions of the spine, with MRI being crucial for diagnosis and understanding their characteristics.
- A study of 22 symptomatic patients over an 18-year period revealed varied symptoms, with common issues being lower limb weakness and incontinence, and demonstrated effective surgical strategies including complete excision and marsupialization.
- One year post-surgery, patients showed significant improvement in symptoms without any recurrence of the cysts, indicating that surgical intervention is effective for symptomatic cases despite ongoing discussions about the best surgical methods.
