Abstract
Background: Here, we reviewed the clinical, radiological, and neurological sequelae and treatment when transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) cages migrate into the lumbar spinal canal.
Case description: A 46-year-old female underwent a TLIF L3-L4. Five months later, she presented with cauda symptoms/signs of dorsal cage migration that warranted surgical removal.
Conclusion: TLIF can be associated with delayed dorsal cage migration into the spinal canal. This adverse event should be clinically recognized, radiologically documented, and appropriately surgically treated to minimize short/long-term neurological sequelae.
