Abstract

We report a case of multiple thoracic intradural subarachnoid cyst. A 59-year-old woman was admitted for spastic gait and muscle weakenss of left lower limbs. She was operated for subarachnoid cyst in pontine angle at the age of 58. MRI showed multiple subarachnoid cyst in the thoracic spine. CTM showed that the most severe compression level was on the left side of Th8/9 and 9/10. We performed Th8-10 laminectomy, cystectomy and transarachoidal cystectomy. Spastic gait and muscle weakness of the left lower limbs improved after surgery. These results suggest that some kind of congenital factors are related to the onset of subarachnoid cysts.
