Abstract
- An intradural arachnoid cyst is a relatively rare condition. Idiopathic arachnoid cysts are rare lesions that are not associated with trauma or other inflammatory insults. This report describes one case of an idiopathic arachnoid cyst treated by posterior laminectomy and an excision of the mass with a brief review of the relevant literature.
