Abstract

Neurological evaluation supplemented by myelography has been highly successful in diagnosing spinal cord tumors. Our experience shows that a widening of the cord on myelography is not always diagnostic of spinal cord tumors. Two patients who presented clinically with evidence of spinal cord tumor and had a widening of the cord on myelography were found to have severe cervical arachnoiditis without any evidence of intrinsic cord abnormality. Hence, cervical arachnoiditis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord tumor on myelography. (Neurosurgery 12:120-122, 1983)
