Despite the frequency of dural tears in spinal surgery, meningitis is a rare complication reported to occur with a frequency of 0.18%.

This case highlights the importance of repairing all dural tears and commencing antibiotics that cover uncommon bacteria in those who develop symptoms of meningitis in this setting.
