Congenital spinal extradural cysts are rare and may be the cause of acute paraplegia. In their clinical features they closely resemble acute transverse myelitis. Immediate decompression of the spinal cord and removal of the cyst may lead to restoration of normal function. Myelography differentiates these two conditions by showing a cyst in communication with the spinal canal. This investigation must be mandatory.
先天性脊髓硬膜外囊肿罕见，可能是急性截瘫的病因。其临床特征与急性横贯性脊髓炎极为相似。立即进行脊髓减压并切除囊肿可能使功能恢复正常。脊髓造影通过显示与椎管相通的囊肿来鉴别这两种情况。这项检查必不可少。
