RESUMEN
Las lesiones quísticas epidurales espinales son poco frecuentes y generalmente si se asocian a sintomatología, ésta es a nivel lumbar bajo por efecto compresivo. Estos quistes meníngeos corresponden a comunicaciones entre el espacio subaracnoideo y la duramadre e histológicamente contienen una pared gruesa bilaminar formada por membranas meníngeas y líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) en su interior. Presentamos un caso con un paciente portador de un quiste epidural lumbar.
ABSTRACT
Spinal epidural cysts are uncommon lesions, usually with symptoms associated with low back pain secondary to a compressive effect. These meningeal cysts are communications between the subarachnoid space and the duramater, and histologically they consist of a thick bilayered meningeal membrane with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside. Due to its rarity, a case of a patient presenting with an epidural lumbar cyst is reported.
