Summary

Cervical intradural disc herniation is rare, with pathogenesis unclear. This case suggests dura mater and posterior longitudinal ligament adhesion, inflammation, and ossification contribute to disc perforation.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Pathology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Cervical intradural disc herniation is exceptionally rare, with only 17 reported cases.
  • Limited literature exists on the pathogenesis of this condition.
  • Understanding the etiology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

Observation:

  • A case of C6-C7 intradural disc herniation with posterior longitudinal ligament ossification is presented.
  • The patient exhibited Brown-Sequard syndrome.
  • Surgical findings included dura mater adhesion and a perforated disc.

Findings:

  • Histological analysis revealed inflammatory cell infiltration and hypertrophy of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
  • The herniated disc was successfully resected, followed by spinal fusion.

  • Complete neurologic recovery was achieved, with minor residual sensory disturbance.

    • Implications:

    • The pathogenesis may involve chronic mechanical irritation leading to dura mater perforation.
    • Adhesion and fragility of the dura mater and posterior longitudinal ligament are implicated.
    • This case contributes to understanding the rare pathology of cervical intradural disc herniation.
