Data from Amsterdam University Medical Center Broaden Understanding of Arachnoid Cysts (Arachnoid Cyst as a Late Complication of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy: A Case Report).

A case report from Amsterdam University Medical Center discusses a unique case of a late arachnoid cyst in a 25-year-old male who underwent selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) for spastic cerebral palsy at the age of 7. The patient experienced radiating pain in the left leg, which was relieved after cyst dissection, but developed urinary retention and constipation postoperatively. The research highlights arachnoid cyst formation as a potential late complication of SDR, emphasizing the importance of long-term follow-up for patients undergoing this surgical technique.
