Abstract
A case of a lumbar spinal extradural cyst is reported. An accurate preoperative diagnosis was made using magnetic resonance imaging. Characteristic findings on magnetic resonance imaging obviate the need for any additional radiological studies. The clinical features, radiological findings, and pathogenesis of these lesions are discussed.
