ABSTRACT
CASE We present the case of a 59-year-old man who had MIS L4-5 decompression. He presented the next day with intractable back and leg pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed ventral displacement of the cauda equina and a subdural collection on the right L3/L4 nerve roots. Revision decompression revealed occult durotomy caudal and contralateral to the index decompression. CONCLUSION:
Minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery leverages shorter operative time and reduced postoperative pain. Yet, decreased exposure can make identification and management complications challenging. This report highlights occult durotomy and spinal subdural extra-arachnoid hygroma in patients with postoperative nerve compression after seemingly uncomplicated MISS.
