Management of Post-Traumatic Pseudomeningocele as Consequence of Root Nerve Avulsion: Case Report and Review of the Literature
To date, no clear guidelines about the management of post-traumatic pseudomeningoceles are reported in the literature. The lack of symptoms or signs related to them does not usually require any surgical intervention. If not, a possible management strategy with the use of an external lumbar drainage is proposed, a solution already in use in other surgical contexts with successful results in preventing CSF fistula or its relapse.
