It is commonly accepted that interspinous spacers are made from material that is well tolerated by the body, that their placement is simple, that complications are rare, and that they can greatly benefit the patients. So far, there have not been published studies reporting infective or other complications 10 or more years after the placement of DIAM spacers. The aim of this paper was to present a case of an extremely late complication (after 10 years) in the form of intra- and extrafascial dumbbell abscesses, concomitantly appearing at both levels treated with the DIAM spacer. The paper presents the existence of a significant correlation between CT and MRI findings as well as the deterioration in Oswestry Disability Index and visual analog scale scores.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>Over time, dynamic spine stabilization might possibly impact reactive accumulation of sterile fluid in the vicinity of an implant and could therefore be related to delayed complications even 10 years after surgery. The finding of a growing layer composed of thick aseptic fluid around the DIAM implant, with a simultaneous occurrence of spinous process osteolysis and formation of a mineralized pseudocyst, bears a considerable risk of delayed inflammatory complications, including abscess, and therefore requires the explantation of the DIAM implant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2015.3.spine1589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,10]],"date-time":"2015-07-10T14:04:37Z","timestamp":1436537077000},"page":"647-651","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Aseptic
