ABSTRACT

Multiple extradural meningeal cysts of the spine are uncommon. A 58-year-old male presented with multiple meningeal cysts arising along the whole craniospinal axis, manifesting as back pain and truncal ataxia persisting for 6 months. A 72-year-old female presented with multiple thoracic extradural spinal meningeal cysts, manifesting as back pain. Two cases of the thoracic spinal extradural meningeal cysts were treated surgically with costotransversectomy and cyst was removed totally. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of meningeal cysts.
