spinal meningeal cyst

Zufallsbefund
einer lateralen meningealen Zyste auf Höhe BWK 12. (MRT wegen LWK-4-Fraktur). Die Zyste findet sich auf Höhe des Wirbelkörpers im Gegensatz zu einer Wurzeltaschenzyste, die sich in die Foramina ausdehnt und diese ggf. aufweitet. Die in T2 signalreichere Darstellung ggü. dem Liquor im Duralsack ist durch Pulsationen in letzterem erklärt.

arachnoid web: the ‘scalpel’ sign—a case report and differential diagnosis. MRI of the arachnoid cyst in dorsal spine T2W sagittal (a) and axial (b, c) sections demonstrating an increase in the posterior arachnoid space in mid and lower dorsal spine displacing and compressing the spinal cord anteriorly. A thin membrane is observed at the upper end (white arrow in a) and anterior edge (white arrows in c)

Spinal meningeal cysts are diverticulae of the arachnoid or dura mater or of the nerve root sheath. They are uncommon, usually asymptomatic and typically found incidentally at MRI.

Clinical presentation

They cysts are usually asymptomatic, but if they are large, they may cause mass effect and symptoms relating to compression of local structures, e.g. nerve roots.

CSF pulsation can also remodel the surrounding bone, e.g. sacral canal.

Pathology

The cysts contain CSF and have thin walls. They may be intradural or extradural and may contain neural tissue. The spinal meningeal cyst classification uses these features to separate the different type of cysts.

Associations

They have been occasionally associated with patient's with connective tissue disorders such as :
