Abstract
Case report. To describe the difficulty in diagnosing spinal pseudomeningocoele. Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 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. Traumatic spinal pseudomeningocoele is very rare. Even with the available modern diagnostic imaging techniques, it is still difficult to diagnose a spinal pseudomeningocoele.
