Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses two cases of lumbosacral dura mater expansion that compressed nerves, treated with lumboperitoneal shunts (LPS) after reviewing cases from existing literature on symptomatic dural ectasia (DE).
- - A comprehensive search evaluated surgical management approaches for DE, including treatments for both children and adults, while excluding cases with cerebrospinal fluid leaks and considering severe forms like meningoceles.
- - The conclusion highlights that DE is rare and mainly linked to connective tissue disorders, suggesting treatment strategies should be tailored based on the specific symptoms and etiologies, as the condition can lead to ongoing complications.
