Spontaneous resolution of postoperative lumbar pseudomeningoceles: A report of four cases
A 26-year-old male, who underwent a left sided L4-L5 fenestration and discectomy, presented 10 days later with a fluctuant swelling over the back. His neurological status was normal. His radicular symptoms were relieved but had occasional postural headache. He was planned for surgical exploration and repair of the dural defect. During the waiting period for surgery, as he showed spontaneous regression, the surgery was deferred and it was decided to observe the patient closely. At 3 months, he showed complete resolution of the swelling which was further confirmed on the MRI [].
