Neurological examination showed hypoesthesia on the left of T12; L2 dermatome. CT-myelography demonstrated a contrast-filled cyic lesion occupying the posterior epidural space; with lateral bulging through neural foramina and anterior displacement of the contrast-filled thecal sac. MRI scan showed an extradural pure cystic signal intensities which lied posterolateral to the spinal cord extending from T12 to L2 vertebra level. The mass was excised totally with hemilaminectomy from lower half of T12 to upper half of L2. The cystic mass was histologically diagnosed as a arachnoid cyst.
