From Hospital Bed to the Playground: A Child's Story of Overcoming a Spinal Arachnoid Cyst.

Spinal arachnoid cyst is an uncommon medical condition. Recurrence of arachnoid cysts is also an unfamiliar phenomenon. The recurrence and the postoperative complications had lengthened the craving for the patient's ambulation. However, appropriate surgical decisions and adequate surgical management with modern equipment have made the management unparalleled. Here, we explain a boy's journey from a bedridden condition due to a dorsal arachnoid cyst to the playground. Not only the disease entity but also the management and journey of the patient made this case uncommon. Finally prompt response with complete cyst removal and dural augmentation with a hydrated amniotic membrane enabled the boy to return to the playground again from a prolonged bed ridden state.
