	<abstract>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Background and Importance: Pseudomeningocele is a rare complication of spine surgery, and it is the collection of cerebrospinal fluid in&amp;nbsp;paraspinal tissues. Giant pseudomeningoceles are still rare, and very few cases have been reported in literature. It is usually occult in presentation,&amp;nbsp;and patients do not have any symptoms ascribable to it.&lt;br&gt;
Case Presentation: We came across two symptomatic patients with post laminectomy pseudomeningoceles in past one year at our institution. The&amp;nbsp;patients were managed with surgical closure of the dural defect. Both patients were asymptomatic post-operatively and doing well on follow up.&lt;br&gt;
Conclusion: Reappearance of neurological symptoms in a patient undergoing spine surgery previously needs careful evaluation. Rarely the&amp;nbsp;symptoms of failed back surgery are seen to be arising due to a pseudomeningocele.&lt;/p&gt;
