Abstract
- The case of a 30-year-old woman with a spinal extradural meningeal cyst in the thoracolumbar region is reported. The cyst was detected in the retromedullary space between vertebra T12 and L3. A Dural defect was found in the operation field and through the defect, there was communication between the cystic cavity and the subarachnoid space. Closure of the defect, with partial resection of the cystic wall, was sufficient to obliterate the cystic cavity.
