Lumbar epidural gas is a rare phenomenon where gas locules are observed within the central canal of the lumbar spine. It can arise from a number of factors:

- traumatic pneumorrhachis
- postoperative pneumorrhachis
- from a degenerative spinal synovial cyst
- from a gas containing herniating regional ganglion cyst
