Magnetic resonance imaging of post-surgical pseudomeningocele

Comput Med Imaging Graph. 1989 Jul-Aug;13(4):335-9. doi: 10.1016/0895-6111(89)90211-5.

Abstract

Three cases of post-surgical pseudomeningocele (PSPM) are presented. MR imaging proved useful in diagnosing PSPM because, in the orthogonal planes, it demonstrated precisely the leakage site and the extent of the PSPM. MR imaging was also useful in demonstrating the presence of communication between the PSPM and the subarachnoid space.
