Central Venous Catheter for Treating Pseudomeningocele Compressing the Spinal Cord After Thoracic Ossification Surgery: Case Series
Ultrasound-guided central venous catheter drainage is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative for managing PMC-induced spinal cord compression. This technique achieves rapid symptomatic relief, neurological recovery, and durable results without recurrence. Its successful extension to postoperative pseudocyst/abscess drainage suggests broad applicability in spinal complications.
