Abstract
Anterior cervical intradural arachnoid cyst is a rare entity which has been mostly approached posteriorly, commonly resulting in incomplete resection. Incomplete resection is associated with recurrence; hence, we describe the anterior central corpectomy approach with complete neurologic recovery in a twenty year old with an anterior cervical intradural arachnoid cyst in front of the third and fourth cervical vertebra, who had presented with spastic quadriparesis.
