Sciatica and epidural gas

R A Beatty. Neurosurgery. 1987 Oct.

Abstract

Epidural gas in the patient with sciatica can sometimes provide a clue that there is a surgically treatable lesion. Our patient had the sudden onset of sciatica at night, which was relieved by walking. An intraspinal synovial cyst was associated with epidural gas.
