Is Arachnoiditis hereditary?
Here you can see if Arachnoiditis can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Arachnoiditis or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
According to recent studies Arachnoiditis can be hereditary.

No however there are congenital body makeup of spi es which can lead to causing arschnoiditis more easily

No. It is caused by an injury or surgery of the spine.

No it’s primarily caused by medical error or malpractice. In some rare cases it can be caused by certain types of natural infections or meningitis for example. Currently the leading cause its from epidural injections of any kind

Yes I believe this is hereditary but I don’t think there is any research to support my theory

I do believe that it isn’t.

It is rare, but can be.

No, was once believed to be so but no evidence has been found. Whilst the medical profession uses a possible genetic cause as a possibility this normally means they really don’t know

Nope. Only caused by doctors.

there are very few cases known.

It may be. Our research group ACMCRN (Arachnoiditis and Chronic Meningitis Collaborative Research Network) are interested in this question and are working towards finalizing the infrastructure needed to start genetic studies. Our most recent study at www.bit.ly/Arachnoiditis_Research has nearly 800 participants. 50% report an autoimmune disease and another 20% are being investigated for one. Autoimmune disease tends to have a genetic component, hence there is a possibility of increased risk of developing with certain genetic issues.
