Abstract
The extradural meningeal cyst is an entity which was defined by Schlezinger in 1898. We will report on a 40-year-old female with an extradural meningeal cyst. She had lower back pain, pain in her left lower extremities and numbness in her lower leg.Radiographical examinations revealed a widening of the spinal canal, between the 1st sacral spine and the 4th sacral spine.A CT scan demonstrated a soft tissue density mass in the spinal canal, between the 5th lumbar spine and the 1st sacral spine.An MRI showed a cystic lesion in the spinal canal, between the 1st sacral spine and the 3rd sacral spine.The patient was treated with laminectomy and a local excision. The cyst existed from the upper border of the 1st sacral spine to the 4th sacral spine.The postoperative course was uneventful, and there were no further symptoms.
