Core Tip	Only a few cases of giant pseudomeningoceles have been reported in the literature. Here we present a rare case of a giant pseudomeningocele of the cervical spine identified after cervical laminectomy for an epidural hematoma after epidural blockade. The patient presented with recurrent neck pain and posterior neck swelling after spinal surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed fluid collection at the C3-6 level that proved to be a pseudomeningocele. This case highlights that, despite its rarity, giant pseudomeningocele must be taken in consideration in patients who report recurrent back pain, radicular pain, or a persistent headache after spinal surgery.
