Utility of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging myelography for identifying dural defects in patients with spinal extradural arachnoid cysts: case report.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The treatment of space-occupying cystic lesions includes percutaneous cyst aspiration, marsupialization, percutaneous ventriculocystotomy, or Rickham catheter implantation. In some patients, the cysts tend to recur and repeated evacuations are necessary. The authors present a new treatment method with interna...
