Pseudomeningoceles (PMs) are infrequent complications of spine surgery resulting from incidental durotomy and subsequent extravasation of cerebrospinal fluid. Giant PMs (GPMs), defined as ≥8 cm in major diameter, are rarely reported in the literature and present a challenge due to a lack of clear guidelines for surgical management.
Here, the authors discuss the successful surgical management of a 25.3 cm lumbar GPM that became calcified 3 years following an initial T10-S2 laminectomy with instrumented fusion performed at an outside-hospital.
This report focuses on the successful 3-year delayed surgical intervention for the management of an ossified GPM.
假性脑脊膜膨出（PMs）是脊柱手术罕见的并发症，由意外的硬脊膜切开术及随后的脑脊液外渗引起。巨假性脑脊膜膨出（GPMs）定义为最大直径≥8 cm，文献中鲜有报道，且由于缺乏明确的手术管理指南而带来挑战。
在此，作者讨论了一例25.3 cm腰椎GPM的成功手术治疗，该患者在院外接受初次T10 - S2椎板切除术并器械融合术后3年出现钙化。
本报告重点介绍了对一例骨化性GPM进行成功的3年延迟手术干预。
