Surgical management of an ossified giant lumbar pseudomeningocele: A case report

BACKGROUND: Pseudomeningoceles (PMs) are infrequent complications of spine surgery resulting from incidental durotomy and subsequent extravasation of cerebrospinal fluid. Giant PMs (GPMs), defined as ≥8 cm in major diameter, are rarely reported in the literature and present a challenge due to a lack...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Pseudomeningoceles (PMs) are infrequent complications of spine surgery resulting from incidental durotomy and subsequent extravasation of cerebrospinal fluid. Giant PMs (GPMs), defined as ≥8 cm in major diameter, are rarely reported in the literature and present a challenge due to a lack of clear guidelines for surgical management. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here, the authors discuss the successful surgical management of a 25.3 cm lumbar GPM that became calcified 3 years following an initial T10-S2 laminectomy with instrumented fusion performed at an outside-hospital. CONCLUSION: This report focuses on the successful 3-year delayed surgical intervention for the management of an ossified GPM.
