Abstract:
Dorsal arachnoid webs are uncommon, and of uncertain etiology. We present a case in which imaging findings of a dorsal arachnoid web were identified at the level of a known prior gunshot injury where a retained bullet was lodged adjacent to the spine, without associated penetrating injury to the spine, suggesting blunt post-traumatic etiology.
