Abstract
Introduction: Unilateral biportal endoscopy(UBE）technology is a minimally invasive surgical technology that has emerged in recent years to treat lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis. It operates through water media to achieve disc removal or spinal canal decompression. However, as the application of surgery increases, some rare complications have also appeared. This article makes a case report on a type of patient with spinal cord hypertension syndrome that occurred in our hospital.
Case description: We report a case of a 52-year-old female patient with pain and numbness in her lower limbs. Examination revealed degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation. The patient underwent unilateral laminectomy bilateral decompression(ULBD) and endoscopic lumbar discectomy without lumbar fusion or fixation. If the patient develops spinal cord hypertension syndrome during the operation, we will handle it accordingly, aiming to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Conclusion: Spinal cord hypertension syndrome focuses on prevention, early identification and detection are advocated, and timely treatment should be taken after occurrence.
