    Author: Julia PE, Nazirah H.
    Journal: Spinal Cord; 2007 Dec; 45(12):804-5. PubMed ID: 17710102.
    Abstract:
    STUDY DESIGN: Case report. OBJECTIVE: To describe the difficulty in diagnosing spinal pseudomeningocoele. SETTING: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. CASE REPORT: A case of progressive sacral swelling in a paraplegic man who sustained spinal cord injury 14 years ago is presented. Although his clinical features were suggestive of pseudomeningocoele, we were unable to confirm the diagnosis preoperatively. CONCLUSION: Traumatic spinal pseudomeningocoele is very rare. Even with the available modern diagnostic imaging techniques, it is still difficult to diagnose a spinal pseudomeningocoele.
