Abstrakt: •Surgical Procedure for Repairing the Dural Defect:•In the initial surgery, we addressed the dural defect by customizing the repair material to ensure complete coverage of the defect. We then utilized interrupted sutures to meticulously close the wound, ensuring that there was no gap between the patch and the original dura mater. Our belief in the sufficiency of this surgical procedure for repairing the defect was based on the direct application of the patch to the defect.•Management of Large Pseudomeningocele and Follow-Up Imaging:•Following the identification of a large pseudomeningocele during the patient's 3-month postoperative follow-up, our recommended course of action involved advising the patient to rest in bed and prescribing oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, along with dehydrating agents to alleviate swelling. Subsequent monthly telephone follow-ups revealed that the patient had reported nearly complete resolution of symptoms and opted against further investigations. Moving forward, our plan entails maintaining close vigilance over the patient's progress.
