[Cauda equina syndrome due to early postoperative migration of an adipose tissue flap following laminectomy].
The authors reported an early case of cauda equina syndrome after hemilaminectomy and discectomy for lumbar disc herniation. CT-scan revealed the migration of the free fat graft used for preventing peridural scar formation. Removal of the graft resulted in total patient's recovery.
