Abstract
To date, four cases of ossified extradural pseudocyst have been described, the first being in 1951 by Verbiest who described unusual forms of compression of the cauda equina including a case of a lumbo-sacral extradural cyst and a case of 'knotting' of a caudal nerve root. We present an additional two cases.
