title: A rare association of spontaneous pneumorrhachis with spondylolisthesis and lumbosacral vacuum phenomenon: a case report with review of literature.
abstract: Spontaneous pneumorrhachis, non-traumatic, non-iatrogenic air within the spinal canal, is a very rare occurrence. We report a case of spontaneous pneumorrhachis, multiple air pockets in the epidural space, with vacuum discs and spndylolisthesis. Probably this is the first report of such case.
