A case of cerebro-spinal fluid leakage occurring after the removal of a pedicular screw is reported. It allowed emphasizing the frequency of the dural tears in spinal surgery, particularly when pedicular screws are used. Moreover, the removal of screws having involved neurological complications can induce other lesions, such in the reported case. This removal procedure is not benign and requires precautions and a monitoring identical to the other spinal procedures.
