29-JUNE-2014  BAHIYE ZAYDAN DAYEH  62 YEARS  CSF LEAK AFTER PERFORMED SURGERY FOR SPONDYLOLISTHESIS L5-S1 WITH STENOSIS L4-5 AND STRUCTURAL SCOLIOSIS LUMBAR SPINE 24 DAYS AGO.

 

Anamnesis

bullet

The patient was operated by me 05-June-2014 for spondylolisthesis L5-S1, stenosis L4-5 with structural scoliosis. She was doing fine and discharged in good condition and the drop right foot improved dramatically until normal limit. The patient start to progress CSF leak 22-June-2014 and conservative measures failed to resolve the problem.

MRI of the lumbar spine done 28-June-2014 showing a huge CSF pocket extending up and down, reaching under the skin.

The old incision refreshed. A  huge amount of CSF came out, despite the fact that the head of the patient was kept below the heart level. Inspection of the wound revealed that the CSF was coming out from the previous dural defect which was repaired in the first operation and the defect was so tiny, that it was 0.1 mm and it was functioning as a valve. Three stitches 4 zero nylon were applied and a muscle with Glubran was added to have more secure closure of the tiny dural defect. The head was elevated and Valsalva maneuver was applied and CSF leak was negative. Inspection of the sites of the wound and water-tight closure of the wound.

Smooth postoperative recovery.

 

Comments  

bullet

The patient had small tear less than 1 mm in scareous area near the right L5 root. Despite the fact it was closed by nylon, it was sufficient that 0.1 mm gap to be the source of such CSF leak.

The scar tissue is not reliable to hold stitches and it will be wise to use Glubran the next similar case to avoid such event.
