A case report of pseudomeningocele with nerve root entrapment after lumbar discectomy. To report a rare cause of recurrent sciatica. A unique case of delayed nerve root entrapment within the neck of an iatrogenic pseudomeningocele is described. The relevant literature is reviewed. This case illustrates the possible consequences of not repairing a dural tear and reinforces the importance of a careful surgical approach to the lumbar spine.Keywords
