Abstract

An ossified arachnoid membrane combined with cystic formation is rarely reported as a cause of spinal cord compression. We report the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with diffuse ossification of the arachnoid membrane (arachnoid ossification) and multiple cystic changes (arachnoid cyst) at the thoracic and lumbar spine. The lesions were surgically removed and progressive deterioration was prevented, although no marked improvement of neurological symptoms was attained.

摘要

蛛网膜骨化合并囊性形成很少被报道为引起脊髓压迫的原因。我们报告了一例 60 岁男性病例，其胸腰椎存在弥漫性蛛网膜骨化（蛛网膜骨化）和多个囊性改变（蛛网膜囊肿）。尽管未获得明显的神经症状改善，但病变被手术切除并阻止了进行性恶化。
