Idiopathic spinal cord herniation through a thoracic ventral dural defect is a rare cause of progressive thoracic myelopathy in middle-aged women. This case highlights diagnostic and treatment considerations for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Spinal Cord Imaging

Background:

  • Idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) is an increasingly recognized cause of thoracic myelopathy.
  • This condition often affects middle-aged women and presents as chronic progressive myelopathy.

Observation:

  • A case of neurosurgically confirmed thoracic ventral dural defect leading to ISCH is presented.
  • The case illustrates the typical clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges.

Findings:

  • Review of pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and imaging features of ISCH.
  • Discussion of various treatment options and post-treatment outcomes for ISCH.

Implications:

  • Improved understanding of ISCH pathogenesis and clinical course.
