Leptomeningeal cysts in congenital ectopia lentis

Abstract

✓ A case of ectopia lentis (Marfan syndrome) with a cerebral subarachnoid cyst, a spinal extradural cyst connected to a lateral intrathoracic meningocele, and perineural cysts is presented. The association of these leptomeningeal cysts in this genetic disorder of connective tissue suggests a common pathogenesis.
