Abstract:

A case of gun shot injury to the spine, with the bullet entering the thecal sac via the right side of the lower chest and wandering freely in the subarachnoid space, is reported. The patient was neurologically intact initially and developed radicular symptoms with foot drop and urinary retention on the third day after injury. The radiological findings and the problems faced at surgery are discussed, and the relevant literature of this uncommon condition is reviewed.

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...
