Figure 11b. Medial deviation of a pedicle screw. Axial (a) and coronal (b) CT images show a screw that has traversed the medial cortex of the pedicle and penetrated the thecal sac (arrow), leading to a cerebrospinal fluid leak. The leak was repaired when the errant screw was removed, and a new screw was correctly positioned.
