Abstract

Arachnoid web (AW) is a rare but probably underestimated cause of spinal cord injury that is complex to diagnose due to subtle MRI findings and similarities to other better-known diseases such as arachnoid cyst (AC) or transdural spinal cord herniation (TSCH). Increased recognition of AW is mandatory since delay in diagnosis can lead to potentially serious neurological sequelae.
