ABSTRACT

Intraspinal extradural meningeal cysts are uncommon cause of spinal compression. Either the classification or the etiopathology of these changes are indistinct in the literature. A rare case of multiple extradural meningeal cysts associated with lymphedema of the legs is presented. The total surgical removal was followed by the quick neurological improvement. Some etiological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of these pathologies have been discussed.
