Hmm--may be they are the cause--if the technique was not right or multiple attempts were made or even if the technique was correct the dura can be damaged.
Thank you Dr. Mathur! the only things that I had done on my spine in the past are epidurals for childbirth & epidural steroid injection for cervical spondylosis.
Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Yes, the main cause of pseudomeningocele is a trauma caused in the duramater (covering of the spinal cord) due to surgery. However, a pseudomeningocele may also be caused by any other trauma (like an accident or sports injury) or it may be congenital. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
