A case of post-traumatic arachnoiditis ossificans of the cauda equina is reported. The lesion is a rare pathological entity usually confined to the thoracic and high lumbar regions that can cause progressive spinal cord and cauda equine compression. The pathophysiology and therapeutic strategy of this rare entity are still controversial.
