Fascia lata packing and tension suturing for symptomatic pseudomeningocele after recurrent cervical intradural tumour resection

Abstract In recurrent posterior cervical intradural tumour resections, serious complications can be developed. The dural can become affected by inflammatory factors or removed during tumor resection; if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage cannot be stopped by duraplasty, artificial meninges or fascia...
