An epidural blood patch (EBP) has become standard of care for management of postdural puncture headache, and in recent years, attempts have been made to expand its applicability. Its utility in the management of postsurgical pseudomeningocele remains poorly defined, and few reports describe its use in children. In this case, we report the successful management of lumbar pseudomeningocele via EBP in a 3-year-old after tethered cord release, thereby obviating the need for surgical repair and its potential morbidity.
硬膜外血贴(EBP)已成为治疗硬膜穿刺后头痛的标准方法,近年来,人们一直在尝试扩大其应用范围。其在术后假性脑脊膜膨出治疗中的作用仍不明确,很少有报告描述其在儿童中的应用。在此病例中,我们报告了1例3岁患儿在脊髓拴系松解术后通过硬膜外血贴成功治疗腰部假性脑脊膜膨出,从而避免了手术修复及其潜在的并发症。
