- Pseudomeningocele is rare complication after lumbar discectomy. Most pseudomeningoceles are asymptomatic, but sometimes can cause headaches, infection, back pain, and radicular pain. Treatment modalities include conservative management, epidural blood patch, lumbar subarachnoid drainage, and surgery. We report a successful treatment of pseudomeningocele with epidural blood and fibrin glue patch, which did not treated with conservative management and epidural blood patch alone.
