title: Delayed Medullar Syndrome after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage. A Case report of Cystic Arachnoiditis!
abstract: We described a case of chronic spinal cystic arachnoiditis after subarachnoid haemorrhage in a 54-year-old woman with a ruptured vertebral artery aneurysm treated by coils. At three months she complained of lumbar pain.At twelve months she presented lower limbs paresthesia then a rapidly bilateral motor deficit. MR showed a spinal arachnoiditis with two compressive cysts. Surgical decompression was inefficient and after three months spinal compression symptoms worsened and MR signs were unchanged.
