The Operative Management Of Pseudomeningo- Coele, A Study Of Ten Cases, Determination Of Their Causes And Management Outcomes
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Pseudomeningocoele is a rare entity that follows a dural injury during spine surgery. The dural fluid accumulates in the adjoining soft tissue to form a pseudomeningocoele. This may manifest in various forms from a simple fluctuant swelling to extreme sensitivity to handling. We have managed these surgically identifying and sealing off the leak. The outcomes have been uniformly good with complete resolution of symptoms and no incidences of recurrence at two years post surgery. We recommend avoiding the use of topical steroid to the dura post surgery.
