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.
