Unraveling the Mystery: A Case of Dorsal Arachnoid Web of the Spine and Its Diagnostic Challenges (P4-2.003)
Arachnoid web of the spine is a rare spinal cord lesion that poses diagnostic challenges due to subtle imaging findings. It presents as an intradural extramedullary band of arachnoid tissue extending to the pial surface of the spinal cord, resulting in a focal dorsal indentation. This web typically occurs in the upper thoracic spine and may create a distinctive “scalpel” sign on imaging.
