Experience with Dorsal Arachnoid Web (DAW) in T-Spine?
I just received MRI results of my thoracic spine, which was conducted in order to place a spinal cord stimulator for chronic pain in my lumbar spine: L5/S1 nerve damage and hyper mobility in my L3 and L4. However, the MRI shows that I have a Dorsal Arachnoid Web (DAW), a rare, acquired, or sometimes congenital condition where a band of thickened tissue in the arachnoid membrane causes dorsal compression of the spinal cord in my t-spine.
Does anyone in this community have any experience with this condition? Much appreciated.

@mfenimore1 where is dr paul mccormick located?
@lovesummer Columbia NYc
@mfenimore1, McCormick is video chiropractor, now. He's stopped seeing patients in person.
Anyway doesn't do surgeries.
You'd need a highly experienced neurosurgeon with the latest equipment. Emory or Cedars Sinai, some of the University associated surgery centers would be the best place to look. I don't know about Mayo, but probably a good place to check for experienced surgeons.
Sorry, I only just saw your question.
I've never seen or spoken with Dr. McCormick but am interested in his opinions on osteoporosis.
Its a different Paul Mccormick. He is a neurosurgeon at Columbia
You are referring to Keith Mccormick
@gently thanks thot he was surgeon. thanks fir info.
lovesummer, you are welcome, but I forgot about Paul. https://doctors.columbia.edu/us/ny/new-york/paul-c-mccormick-md-710-west-168th-street (Thanks to nfenimore1). I have heard from someone who had successful surgery with him that he is really wonderful
@mfenimore1, thank you. I hate it when my mind slips. Have you discovered anything more about Paul McCormick?
Yes I saw him. I liked him and would definitely consider him for surgery
