Spinal arachnoiditis is a known but very rare late complication of subarachnoid
hemorrhage (SAH). Since 1943, 17 cases of spinal arachnoiditis after intracranial
hemorrhage have been reported internationally. The vast majority of these cases
were related to aneurysmal SAH. All previously published cases have involved
spinal arachnoiditis at the cervical and thoracic levels.
In this report, we
present an adult woman with lumbar spinal arachnoiditis causing cauda equina
syndrome as a result of posterior circulation aneurysmal SAH. We believe this is
the first reported case of this specific condition causing cauda equina syndrome.
