Giant dorsolumbar spinal arachnoid cysts are a complex, poorly understood, and difficult to manage clinical entity. Traditional CT myelography is technically difficult to use in these cases to detect the site of leakage preoperatively. The authors report a novel technique for detecting the site of the leak by using sequential, dynamic intraoperative MR myelography. To the authors’ knowledge, there is no other similar report in the literature.

Abstract A rare congenital arachnoid cyst of the orbital optic nerve affecting a 5-year-old boy is described and the relevant literature is reviewed. On the basis of the macro- and microscopic features of the reported case, an analogy is suggested between the observed optic nerve cyst and the extradural arachnoid cyst of the spinal canal, Moreover, the hypotheses put forward to explain the pathogenesis of spinal extradural arachnoid cysts may also account for the exceptional appearance of a similar cyst in the orbital portion of the optic nerve.

ABSTRACT Extradural spinal arachnoid cysts are rare lesions. They frequently communicate with the subarachnoid space through a defect in the dura. Symptoms result from compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with extradural spinal arachnoid cyst who had complete surgical excision with good outcome.

A family with familial spinal extradural arachnoid cyst is presented. A 14-year-old boy had an extensive T-8 through L-2 dorsal extradural arachnoid cyst with spinal cord compression and slowly progressive myelopathy. His mother had presented 4 years earlier with acute excruciating back pain due to the combination of a lumbar extradural arachnoid cyst at L2–4 and an extruded disc at L3–4. The literature is reviewed in light of the pathogenesis, imaging, and surgical technique required for treatment.
