Article Synopsis
- Duraplasty is a common neurosurgery procedure, but it can lead to complications like iatrogenic pseudomeningocele, and ossification following surgery is rare.
- A 2-year-old boy who had undergone surgery for sagittal craniosynostosis presented with a bulge in his head and weakness in limbs, following a failed duraplasty.
- The bulge was diagnosed as an encephalocele with ossification after imaging, emphasizing the need for clinicians to monitor changes in postoperative pseudomeningoceles for potential ossification.
