Imaging studies in eight patients with surgically-confirmed spinal arachnoid cysts were analyzed retrospectively. All patients had preoperative MRI of the spine and seven preoperative myelography with postmyelographic CT. In all cases the correct diagnosis could be made preoperatively on the basis solely of MRI. The diagnosis could also be established from myelography and postmyelographic CT in six of the seven cases. In one case myelography and CT simply demonstrated an intradural extramedullary mass.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
