Abstract:
Pseudomeningocele, a hernial protrusion of the meninges, most commonly forms in wounds that have been incompletely closed at surgery. They are frequently seen with hydrocephalus, with or without increased intracranial pressure. The authors present a case of an incidental finding of a posterior fossa pseudomeningocele seen on cisternography that was performed because of postoperative hydrocephalus after removal of a cerebellar astrocytoma.
