Abstract

The inflammation in arachnoiditis may arise in response to several different stimuli, including central nervous system infections, surgical trauma, or spinal cord tumors. The initial inflammatory response is followed by the development of intrathecal (IT) adhesions that may disrupt the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).1 Symptoms of arachnoiditis include lower back pain with radiating leg pain and neurological abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to confirm the presence of arachnoiditis.
