title: Spinal nerve root herniation into a pseudomeningocele associated with lumbar spondylolysis: a case report.
abstract: A 38-year-old man presented with low back pain and sciatica on the left side.

After closure of the dural defect, the sciatic pain was relieved and subsequently the patient was able to return to work.
