| description | Abstract
Arachnoid cyst in the spine frequently arises from posterior to the spinal cord in the thoracic region. Anterior cervical arachnoid cyst is a rare entity of which only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present a 26-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks of gestation with a history of rapid progressive quadriparesis that harbors a large ventral located cervical arachnoid cyst. She emergently underwent posterior laminectomy and cyst wall fenestration. Postoperatively, her muscles strength was fully recovered without any neurologic deficit. |
