Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid collections in the spine that can present with neurological symptoms or be discovered accidentally. Intradural location of such cysts especially in the lumbosacral region is relatively rare. The association of such cysts with other congenital anomalies such as tethered cord lends evidence to the developmental origin of arachnoid cysts. We report a case of lumbosacral arachnoid cyst with tethered cord in a 6-year-old male child and discuss the etiopathogenesis and management options.
蛛网膜囊肿是脊柱内的脑脊液聚集，可出现神经症状或偶然被发现。此类囊肿位于硬膜内，尤其是腰骶部，相对少见。此类囊肿与其他先天性异常如脊髓栓系相关，这为蛛网膜囊肿的发育起源提供了证据。我们报告一例6岁男童腰骶部蛛网膜囊肿合并脊髓栓系的病例，并讨论其病因及治疗选择。
