Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Spinal Surgery
- Neurology
Background:
- Spinal meningeal cysts are rare, benign conditions often causing myelopathy.
- Typically composed of arachnoid membrane, intradural spinal meningeal cysts involving dura mater are exceptionally rare.
- This report details a unique case of an intradural spinal dural cyst.
