[Intranasal meningeal cysts].

Intrasacral meningeal cysts are relatively uncommon. They are usually asymptomatic, but because of their expansive character, radicular symptoms or functional disturbances in the urinary bladder or rectum can occur. It is of importance to recognize these cysts in order to give the patient the correct treatment and to avoid unnecessary examinations and operations. The diagnosis can be made by myelography, computer tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
