Minimally invasive management of a spinal arachnoid cyst with ultrasound-assisted catheter placement: illustrative case
Here, the authors present a unique minimally invasive technique to treat recurrent spinal arachnoid cysts. They successfully demonstrated the feasibility and safety of this approach in shunting the cyst while avoiding the extensive re-exposure often required in such complex cases. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24461.
