    Arachnoidal diverticula are rare complications following lumbar spine surgery. Spinal computed tomography aids diagnosis, and surgery effectively resolves symptoms and prevents further neurological issues in affected patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Arachnoidal diverticula represent a rare complication after lumbar spine operations.
    • These diverticula can lead to significant patient morbidity if not properly diagnosed and managed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on patients with arachnoidal diverticula following lumbar surgery.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of imaging modalities and the efficacy of surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series involving five patients with post-lumbar operation arachnoidal diverticula.
    • Diagnostic imaging included myelography (all patients) and spinal computed tomography (three patients).
    • Surgical treatment was performed in three symptomatic patients.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Myelography and spinal computed tomography were utilized for diagnosis.
    • Spinal computed tomography proved particularly useful for large diverticula and visualizing the arachnoidal stalk.
    • Surgical intervention in three patients led to good clinical outcomes with symptom remission.

    Conclusions:

    • Arachnoidal diverticula are an uncommon but significant complication of lumbar spine surgery.
    • Spinal computed tomography is a valuable tool for diagnosing these diverticula.
    • Surgical treatment is effective for symptomatic cases, alleviating pain and preventing neurological deterioration.
