Traumatic arachnoidal diverticulum associated with paraplegia

Abstract

✓ A case of delayed paraplegia due to a traumatic arachnoid diverticulum from a traction injury of the brachial plexus is reported. The authors emphasize the necessity of carrying out proper radiological studies for evaluation of delayed weakness of the legs following trauma to the brachial plexus; by this means, a surgically correctable lesion can be identified.
