    Summary

    Spinal arachnoidal diverticula, common lesions of the spinal cord and nerve roots, can arise from trauma or surgery. This review examines traumatic and postsurgical cases, highlighting their occurrence following spinal procedures or injury.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Cord Imaging
    • Neuropathology

    Background:

    • Arachnoidal diverticula are common spinal lesions.
    • These lesions can be congenital or acquired.
    • Acquired forms may result from trauma or surgery.

    Observation:

    • This study reviewed 17 patients with postsurgical or traumatic spinal arachnoidal diverticula.
    • Eleven patients had prior surgery in the affected area.
    • Six patients experienced non-surgical trauma.

    Findings:

    • Postsurgical and traumatic spinal arachnoidal diverticula represent a significant subset of these lesions.
    • The Mayo Clinic experience indicates these lesions are associated with prior spinal interventions or injury.
    • A majority of the reviewed cases were linked to previous surgical procedures.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the etiology of spinal arachnoidal diverticula is crucial for diagnosis and management.
    • Postsurgical and traumatic origins should be considered in patients presenting with these lesions.
    • Further research may elucidate specific risk factors and optimal treatment strategies for acquired arachnoidal diverticula.
