Objective:Spinal arachnoid cysts are rare and benign lesions. Arachnoid cysts occur because of the blockage of cerebrospinal fluid flow. Case Report: In this article we report a case with lomber intradural arachnoid cyst as caused to compress the cauda equina. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion compressing conus medullaris at the level of L1-2.We performed L1 and 2 total laminectomies. During surgery, intradural arachnoid cyst was resected with wall and arachnoid webs between caudal roots was resected by microdissection. After surgery the neurologic defisits were improved. Conclusion: Intradural arachnoid cysts may cause cauda equina syndrome via neural tissue compression and all symptoms may improve after resection.Keywords: Arachnoid Cysts, PolyradiculopathyTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2003, 23:159-161
