Laminectomy @ T6 to remove syrinx/cyst and Dorsal Arachnoid Web (DAW)
Hello! Does anybody in the community have any experience with Laminectomy @ T6 to remove syrinx/cyst and Dorsal Arachnoid Web (DAW) and a different procedure to address it? I’m going through the process (another MRI w/contrast; why they don’t do this from the beginning is beyond me!) of potentially having this at the end of May/first part of June. Thank you!

Hi @mfenimore1 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I believe you are asking if @klingebretsen ended up having a laminectomy? How are you feeling about a possible laminectomy, mfenimore1?
Yes thats what I am asking. After meeting with surgeon again today I am
Leaning towards it. Its basically my best option at this point as nothing else has helped
