Pseudomeningocele aspiration and blood patch effectively treats positional headache associated with postoperative lumbosacral pseudomeningocele

Sandwell S, et al. – For treating positional headaches attributed to postoperative lumbosacral pseudomeningoceles, researchers tested the efficacy and safety of blood patch injection.

Moreover, this represented a minimally invasive alternative to surgical re–exploration with durotomy closure. It was noted that injections displayed the best efficacy when performed early after pseudomeningocele development.
