Spontaneous spinal cord herniation is a rare condition often presenting as Brown-sequard syndrome. This review details a case and literature, highlighting the poorly understood pathophysiology of thoracic dural defects.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Cord Medicine

Background:

  • Spontaneous spinal cord herniation (SSCH) is an uncommon condition.
  • It is frequently associated with Brown-sequard syndrome, a neurological deficit.
  • The underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood.

Observation:

  • This report presents a clinical case of SSCH.
  • The herniation occurred in the thoracic region via an anterolateral dural defect.
  • The case is supplemented by a comprehensive literature review.

Findings:

  • SSCH is a rare cause of neurological deficits.
  • Thoracic spinal cord herniation through dural defects is the most common presentation.
  • The etiology of spontaneous dural defects leading to herniation is unclear.

Implications:

  • Increased recognition of SSCH is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into the pathophysiology of dural defects is warranted.
  • Understanding SSCH can improve patient outcomes for this rare neurological condition.
