Year: 2022

Type: preprint

Abstract: An epidural gas (EG) containing pseudocyst is an unusual finding after surgery[1]. We presented a case of 72 years old woman presenting with recurrent radiculopathy due to epidural gas (EG) accumulation 2 weeks after percutaneous lumber spine surgery with posterior fixation and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). After failure of Conservative treatment, the patient underwent revision spinal surgery to remove the gaseous cyst.
