Delayed arachnoid ossification following lumbar decompression and fusion surgery: A case report and review of literature
Patients may experience pain and numbness in both lower limbs after lumbar decompression and fusion surgery. This condition is likely attributed to the compression of spinal nerves caused by AO within the spinal canal. Given the significant surgical risks associated with this procedure, a systematic conservative treatment approach is recommended, which can yield satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
