Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome is characterized by the presence of lower limb lymphedema and supernumerary eyelashes arising from the Meibomian glands. Spinal extradural arachnoid cysts have been observed in some families but their true frequency is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of spinal extradural arachnoid cysts in lymphedema distichiasis syndrome.
