A Giant Lumbar Pseudomeningocele in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case Report

Figure 5

After six months, the patient was fine without neurological deficit or abdominal symptoms and the spinal sagittal and axial T2-weighted MRI images showed no relapse of the pseudomeningocele (a and b). The sagittal T2-weighted MRI demonstrated the decompression of cauda roots (white arrows), even if appeared clumped together due to postsurgical scar. In the axial T2-weighted MRI the residual meningocele (white arrow) and the ADM (asterisk) with fat patch were demonstrated. The surgical incision completely healed was shown in image (c).
