Frequency of Nerve Root Sleeve Cysts in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

Abstract

Background: There is sporadic data about the occurrence of spinal meningeal cysts in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease ( ADPKD). We suggest that there is a relationship with the frequency and size of spinal meningeal cysts and headache, intracranial aneurysms, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage in patients with ADPKD.
