PURPOSE: To report a case of @entity12375 occurring after a spinal dural tear that was made unintentionally during the course of a posterior laminectomy and spinal fusion at the L(5)-S(1) level. The possible physiopathological mechanisms are discussed. CLINICAL FEATURES: On the fourth postoperative day, a 59-yr-old @entity1 displayed persistent @entity10 following unintended durotomy during spine implant revision. Perioperative @entity190 was 2840 mL and intravascular replacement was about 3000 mL. She was hydrated with iv fluids and treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The symptoms improved but persisted. With the aggravation of the @entity10 complicated with unconsciousness and the appearance of focal neurological signs on the eighth day, a computed tomography was obtained and revealed a right subdural @entity1410 . Following surgical drainage, the @entity1 made an uneventful recovery. CONCLUSION: This case reminds us that subdural @entity1410 formation can complicate durotomy during spine surgery. @entity16 in the postoperative period should prompt clinicians to rule out the diagnosis and intervene rapidly as appropriate.
