Abstract
The authors describe the case of a gas-filled intradural cyst of the lumbar spine that caused radicular pain. The cyst was similar to an intervertebra l vacuum disc phenomenon and the cystic Ps collection resembled the feature s of gas-containing pseudocyst, herniated intradiscal gas, or free gas, all of which have been found in the epidural space.
