They may be associated with pain or varying degrees of neurological compressive symptoms. Brown-Sequard syndrome is a rare sequalae, where there is ipsilateral upper motor neuron paralysis with loss of proprioception as well as contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation below the lesion. We present a 33-year-old female with a 6-month history of worsening right lower limb weakness and a 2-month history of right lower limb pain. Motor examination revealed right lower limb weakness as well as exaggerated knee and ankle jerk reflexes. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done, which showed an eccentrically located T4\u20137 cystic extradural mass causing severe cord compression. She had T4\u20137 laminectomies with total excision of the cyst and disconnection of the fistulous tract between the cyst and the subarachnoid space. She made full neurologic recovery with no complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,19]],"date-time":"2023-09-19T00:00:16Z","timestamp":1695081616000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Thoracic spinal extradural arachnoid cyst causing Brown-Sequard-like syndrome: a rare case report and review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"given":"Uchenna","family":"Ajoku","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Division , Department of Surgery, , Port Harcourt, Rivers State P.M.B. 6173 , Nigeria"},{"name":"University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital , Department of Surgery, , Port Harcourt, Rivers State P.M.B. 6173 , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bright Uche","family":"Nwekeala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery Division , Department of Surgery, , Port Harcourt, Rivers State P.M.B. 6173 , Nigeria"},{"name":"University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital , Department of Surgery, , Port Harcourt, Rivers State P.M.B. 6173 , Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023091900000091700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"366","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1988.68.3.0366","article-title":"Updated assessment and current classification of spinal meningeal cysts","volume":"68","author":"Nabors","year":"1988","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"2023091900000091700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.26.3.223","article-title":"Extradural cysts of the spinal canal","volume":"26","author":"Gortvai","year":"1963","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"2023091900000091700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1993.78.1.0122","article-title":"Intraspinal extraduralmeningeal cyst demonstrating ball-valve mechanism of formation.
