Mechanical Lysis

An 85-year-old woman arrived at our institution because of left lumbar sciatica of about two years duration unrelieved by conventional oral pain therapy. A computed tomography scan obtained at the second visit showed an epidural gas cyst, with compression and dislocation of the left spinal nerve root L5. The common treatment of an epidural gas cyst is either a direct surgical approach or a CT-guided needle aspiration. We describe an alternative method to mechanical lysis of epidural gas cysts with the use of an 5F angiographic catheter inserted on a 0.035-inch guidewire. This procedure is less invasive than a surgical approach and safer than a CT-guided needle aspiration. Remission of symptoms was maintained at control visits at three and five months.

✓The authors describe the unusual case of a 50-year-old woman who suffered from sciatic pain due to periligamentous trapped epidural gas after lumbar sequestrectomy. The patient underwent removal of free herniated disc material via a translaminar approach through the L-5 lamina without discectomy. Four days later she suffered from recurrent pain, and neuroimaging studies revealed an epidural gas formation at the site of the sequestrectomy. After evacuation of the gas, her pain resolved. Postoperative intraspinal gas may be symptomatic in the rare case.

Background: Pneumorrhachis is an exceedingly rare complication of pneumomediastinum as air tracks through tissue planes into the epidural (or subdural space). The majority of these patients present with a clear history of trauma, iatrogenic injury, pneumothorax, vomiting, or retching. Case Description: A 14-year-old male presented with the asymptomatic spontaneous onset of pneumorrhachis associated with significant pneumomediastinum of unclear etiology. Conclusion: Most patients with pneumorrhachis present with nonfocal neurological examinations. For these patients, it is critical to rule out infection as the cause of epidural gas. If other systemic signs are present, then urgent contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging should be obtained. The majority of patients will demonstrate spontaneous radiographic resolution of pneumorrhachis within several days.
