The procedure was performed in a prone position, a sacral laminectomy was executed, after exposure of the dural sac, we note that the dura was so thin that it kept tearing
continuously, however we proceed continuously. We proceeded with the dissection
intraduraly in order to achieve the greatest possible exposure of the
defect, after anterior sacral defect. After complete
dural intradural exposure the anterior sacral defect lean out, subsequently we
pursue introduce the suction into the defect, once we were certain that there was no nerve root on it, the suction pressure allowed us to pull up the anterior wall of the pseudomeningocele and then we pursued with the ligation of the
neck, both neck. The intradural procedure ended by placing an anterior and posterior dural patch
was placed in order to prevent
further leaks of CSF. CSF fitula. A lumbar drain was placed for similar reasons.
The patient remained in bed rest for about 5 days, the lumbar drain remain open for 2 days. She was mobilized on day 3 and noted to be full strength on motor examination, with no bowel or bladder problems. With further improvement of the symptomatology, she remained hospitalized for 7 days and was discharged without any complications.
After A 3 months post surgery
an MRI (Figure \ref{fig:FIGURE_2}) was made, revealing complete closure of the anterior sacral meningocele with no compression of the pelvic structures. Although the abdomino-pelvic symptoms disappear, the lumbar pain remained with lower intensity probably caused by the severe scoliosis that the patient had.
