Intradural thoracic disc herniation is rare, with most cases occurring in the lumbar spine. This case highlights a T11-T12 intradural disc herniation causing sudden neurological deficit, previously undiagnosed by MRI.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Intradural disc herniations (IDH) are most common in the lumbar spine (>90%).
  • Cervical and thoracic IDH are rare, accounting for <5% of all cases.
  • Thoracic IDH can present with significant neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with sudden onset neurological deficit.
  • Preoperative MRI did not identify the intradural nature of the thoracic disc herniation.
  • The herniation was located at the T11-T12 level.

Findings:

  • A rare intradural thoracic disc herniation at T11-T12 was diagnosed.
  • This represents the first reported case of IDH at this specific thoracic level.
  • Surgical intervention was required to address the neurological deficit.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for missed diagnosis of intradural thoracic disc herniation on MRI.
  • Emphasizes the need for high clinical suspicion in cases of thoracic disc herniation with neurological deficits.
  • Contributes to the understanding of rare spinal pathologies and surgical management.
