title: Arachnoiditis ossificans.
abstract: Arachnoiditis ossificans is a rare type of chronic arachnoiditis characterised by the presence of calcification or ossification of the spinal arachnoid. There are a few reports of this condition in Japanese and western populations but no case has been reported in a Chinese population before. We describe a 35-year-old woman with typical findings of arachnoiditis ossificans. A brief review of the literature is also presented.
