Spinal arachnoiditis following subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Two cases of chronic adhesive spinal arachnoiditis following documented subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are reported. Both cases progressed to severe spinal cord dysfunction with paraplegia. It is hoped that this case report will highlight this uncommon but extremely disabling complication of SAH.
