Multiple communicating intradural arachnoid cysts: usefulness of myelography and myelo-computed tomography using both lumbar and cervical punctures. Case report.
We report a case of multiple communicating intradural cystic lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging did not demonstrate the lesions. Neuroradiological diagnosis of the intradural arachnoid cysts was made from myelography and myelo-computed tomography using both lumbar and cervical punctures. These procedures give us useful information about flow dynamics in the spinal subarachnoid space.
