    Surgical removal of herniated discs (L4-L5, L5-S1) rapidly resolved severe neurological symptoms, including pyramidal signs and bladder paralysis. This suggests transient spinal cord ischemia may cause these rare clinical presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Cord Medicine

    Background:

    • Herniated discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 can cause severe neurological deficits.
    • Pyramidal signs, bladder paralysis, and radicular impairment are uncommon presentations.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with acute, severe neurological deficits including motor and bladder dysfunction.
    • Symptoms were localized to the lower spinal cord segments.

    Findings:

    • Immediate and complete symptom resolution occurred after surgical discectomy.
    • The rapid recovery suggests a reversible cause for the neurological impairment.

    Implications:

    • Transient spinal cord ischemia is a potential mechanism for these uncommon herniated disc presentations.

  • Prompt surgical decompression is crucial for favorable outcomes in such cases.
  • Further research into spinal cord ischemia secondary to disc herniation is warranted.
