Congenital spinal extradural cysts are rare and may be the cause of acute paraplegia. In their clinical features they closely resemble acute transverse myelitis. Immediate decompression of the spinal cord and removal of the cyst may lead to restoration of normal function. Myelography differentiates these two conditions by showing a cyst in communication with the spinal canal. This investigation must be mandatory.
