A member asked:
Had chiari decompression surgery in july. was diagnosed with a pseudomenigocele. will this likely resolve on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
hopefully: As long as a small pseudomeningocele stays contained within the wound and without significant low pressure headaches, continued observation is reasonable. Many small CSF collections will resolve spontaneusly.
