    This study reports two cases of spinal cord compression from thoracic epidural cysts. Surgical removal of these cysts offers a good prognosis for patients with spinal cord compression.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Spinal cord compression can arise from various etiologies, including thoracic epidural cysts.
    • Understanding the diverse origins and presentations of these cysts is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • Two distinct cases of thoracic epidural cysts causing spinal cord compression are presented.
    • The first case involved a congenital cyst associated with a lipoma.
    • The second case demonstrated a rare post-traumatic cyst resulting from brachial plexus injury and meningeal tear.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) of the spine is a valuable tool for identifying thoracic epidural cysts and associated congenital malformations.
    • Successful surgical intervention involves cyst removal and closure of any fistula connecting to the subarachnoid space.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical treatment of thoracic epidural cysts lead to favorable patient outcomes.
    • Complex congenital malformations may necessitate further surgical interventions.
    • This highlights the importance of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare spinal pathologies.
