B Demierre et al. Neurosurgery. 1988 Apr.

A case of sciatic pain syndrome is reported. Computed tomography showed evidence of gas in the spinal canal, and at operation a gas-filled pseudocyst was found in the spinal canal, without herniated disc. The cause of this unique case is discussed in relation to the spinal vacuum phenomenon.
