BACKGROUND: Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks associated with cervical spondylosis are rare. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in which treatment is challenging and varies from case to case. Here, we review the literature and describe the surgical treatment of a 70-year-old woman who presented with a CSF leak due to a cervical spine spur.
CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old female patient who was treated for a cerebral infarction, presented with complains of weakness in the right lower extremity and a feeling of stepping on cotton. The patient underwent regular neck massage and presented with neck and right shoulder pain radiating to the right upper extremity one-month ago. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a strip of leaking cerebrospinal fluid posterior to the C1-4 vertebrae, and computed tomography showed a "sickle-shaped" disc prolapse with calcification in C4/5. We chose to perform an anterior cervical discectomy. When the prolapsed C4/5 disc was scraped, clear fluid leakage was observed, and exploration revealed a 1 mm diameter rupture in the anterior aspect of the dura mater, which was compressed continuously with cotton patties, with no significant cerebrospinal fluid leakage after 1 h.
CONCLUSION: Three months after surgery, the patient was asymptomatic and follow-up imaging demonstrated complete resolution.
