Abstract
We assessed CT-guided percutaneous injection of fibrin glue to manage meningeal cysts of the sacral spine in patients with back pain. All patients experienced resolution or marked improvement of symptoms for as long as 23 months after fibrin glue therapy. No patients experienced recurrence of symptoms during the follow-up interval. Percutaneous CT-guided fibrin glue therapy for sacral meningeal cysts may be a more definitive therapy than repetitive cyst aspiration.
