  • Title: Pseudomeningocele: an unusual cause of intraoperative tracheal compression and expiratory obstruction.
    Author: Blank RS, Waldrop CS, Balestrieri PJ.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2008 Jul; 107(1):226-8. PubMed ID: 18635492.
    Abstract:
    Cerebrospinal fluid leak resulting from spine surgery has been associated with postoperative upper airway obstruction and the need for emergent airway management. We report a case of a known pseudomeningocele resulting in acute intraoperative compression of the intrathoracic trachea and an unexpected variable expiratory obstruction.
