What is a pseudomenigeocele and how is it treated?

Csf leak: A pseudomeningocele is the location of a dural tear, and can be associated with severe postural headaches, improved with lying down, and nerve symptoms. Proper evaluation dictates treatment options and decisions.

Spinal fluid : In contrast to a meningocele, which is a spinal fluid collection covered by dura that extends beyond the normal areas, a pseudomeningocele is spinal fluid not covered by dura. It is typically a result of surgery on the spine, where the covering (dura) was opened, intentionally or unintentionally. Unless it produces headaches, or is draining thru the skin, the pseudomenigocele is left alone.
