AB - Study design: A case report.
Objectives: To document that Gelfoam®(Pharmacia & Upjohn, Kalamazoo, MI) contributes to granuloma formation and spinal cord irritation by immune response.
Summary of Literature Review: The Gelfoam® or microfibrillar collagen applied during various operation for hemostasis. Some complications of Gelfoam®, such as mechanical cord compression, postoperative swelling and mass effect in closed cavity have been reported.
Materials and Methods: The patient was underwent posterior decompression and instrumented posterolateral fusion under the diagnosis of the ossification of ligamentum flavum at T10-11 and T11-12. In operation, Gelfoam® was used at epidural space. She complained of sensory deterioration and muscle weakness around lower extremities after 10days postoperatively. A second operation was performed.
Results: Postoperatively, the patient immediately improved motor grade except spasticity. She is under observation.
Conclusion: Gelfoam® at epidural space after posterior decompression can result hyperactive immune reaction and irritate spinal cord.
