[QUOTE="buddy, post: 521795, member: 12886"] The arachnoid is a layer of the spinal column, I think it is saying that the cyst is causing there to be a space there. That makes sense because anything there will create a space that should not be there, but as in my mom's case...they said it has likely been there since birth and it usually does not add to the other back problems, it is just something they find because they are looking for the source of pain. I can imagine that for some people though it does add to the pain. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_cyst[/URL] of course it is scary making to try to figure it out without the doctor who is actually looking and able to explain. [FONT=Verdana]Intrathecal means in the spinal space like when they give numbing shots into the intrathecal space for childbirth and other things. ([/FONT][B]Intrathecal is an adjective that refers to something introduced into or occurring in the space under the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnoid_membrane"]arachnoid membrane[/URL]) [FONT=Verdana]The medical words make it seem scarier but I think if I remember my medication terminology correctly basically it is describing where the cyst is and as we did a ton of research for my mom, it was found to be quite common. I hope it is for you too.[/FONT][/B] [/QUOTE]
