Trans-Disc Aspiration of Anterior Cervical Cysts

Abstract

Background Spinal arachnoid cysts are rare entities occurring mainly in the cervical and thoracic spine. The majority of these lesions are treated through posterior approaches with laminectomy or laminotomy. We present trans-disc and trans-vertebral aspiration of anterior cervical arachnoid cysts as an alternative therapeutic approach.
