Article Synopsis
- Venous aneurysms of the external jugular vein are rare due to low pressure in the venous system, and their exact occurrence rate is unclear.
- These aneurysms usually appear as soft masses in the neck that can grow over time and may lead to complications like thrombosis or cosmetic issues.
- Diagnosis is typically confirmed through Color Doppler ultrasound or CT angiography, as illustrated by a case of a congenital saccular pseudoaneurysm in a 58-year-old woman.
The formation of an intradural extramedullary arachnoid cyst is a rare complication of spinal anesthesia. We present a case of a 34-year-old female patient who developed neurological symptoms including a bilateral reduction in sensation and strength in the lower limbs following a C-section under spinal anesthesia. MRI of the thoracic spine revealed a lesion at the level of T11/T12 and the upper limit of the L1 vertebral body, which was pushing the cord to the side, and a diagnosis of the intradural extramedullary arachnoid cyst was established.
