    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Intradural disc herniation is a rare spinal condition.
    • This case involves a 72-year-old female patient presenting with chronic lumbar pain.

    Observation:

    • The patient experienced referred pain in the thighs, progressing to severe paraparesis and bladder dysfunction.
    • Myelography indicated a partial block, initially suggesting an intradural neoplasm.
    • Computed tomography (CT) lumbar scan was recommended for further diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Despite diagnostic uncertainty and symptom severity, immediate surgical intervention was performed.
    • The patient experienced a favorable neurological recovery and improvement post-surgery.

    Implications:
