The cases of 5 consecutive patients with tears of the spinal dura with postoperative leaks of CSF were reviewed. Problems included the persistence of CSF fistulas in 4 patients and a late symptomatic pseudomeningocele in 1, all requiring reoperation and meticulous closure of the dura. Dural tears should be repaired at the time of the original operation either directly or utilizing a fascial graft or a tissue-plug technique. When the leak is first noted in the postoperative period, reoperation for repair of the dura is recommended.
