What does arachnoiditis on an mri mean?
Arachnoiditis is inflammation of the the leptomeninges (arachnoid and pia mater). These structures wrap the surface of the brain and spinal cord. When they are inflamed, whatever the underlying cause, gadolinium injection during an MRI scan causes enhancement of the leptomeninges on T1 weighted images. Many different health problems may cause arachnoiditis (from tuberculosis to carcinomatosis to autoimmune diseases). So, strictly speaking, arachnoiditis on an MRI means the leptomeninges enhance.
How is arachnoiditis diagnosed?
The most reliable method of establishing the diagnosis of arachnoiditis is a positive computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, combined with one or more of the symptoms.

Will excessive epidural injections in the lower back cause arachnoiditis?
Excessive epidural injections in the lower back can potentially lead to complications, including arachnoiditis, which is inflammation of the arachnoid membrane surrounding the spinal cord. While the risk increases with the number of injections, other factors such as the injection technique, the substances used, and individual patient conditions also play a significant role. It is essential for patients to discuss the risks and benefits of multiple epidural injections with their healthcare provider.

What are the long term effects from leaking spinal fluid?
Leaking spinal fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, can lead to several long-term effects if not properly treated. These may include persistent headaches, often described as "postural" headaches that worsen when upright, as well as risks of meningitis and other infections due to reduced CSF pressure. Chronic neurological symptoms, such as dizziness, cognitive impairment, and visual disturbances, may also occur. Additionally, prolonged leaks can lead to complications like arachnoiditis or spinal instability.
