A rare case with cystic dilatation of spinal nerve root sheats in the lumbo-sacral area was presented. Myelography with non-ionic contrast media demonstrated the pathology in more accuracy than cornputed tomography with myelography and greatly faciliated the diagnosis of this condition. Images, clinical pattern, indication for operation and surgical treatrnent are briefly discussed.
