Abstract
Only 4 cases of gas-filled intradural cysts of the spine have been reported previously. All cysts were due to intradural herniation of a gas-containing disc. The authors report 2 additional patients with gas-filled intradural cysts that migrated into the nerve root of the cauda equina. After surgical treatment their severe leg pain completely resolved.
