A rare case of intradural lumbar disc herniation caused cauda equina syndrome. Early diagnosis and surgery led to a successful recovery, highlighting the importance of prompt intervention for spinal emergencies.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lumbar disc herniation is common, but intradural herniation is exceptionally rare.
  • Cauda equina syndrome presents with severe neurological deficits requiring urgent management.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms of cauda equina syndrome attributed to an L3-L4 intradural lumbar disc herniation.
  • Myelo-CT imaging revealed an intradural, tumor-like lesion causing a complete spinal block.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative findings confirmed an intradural fragment of sequestrated disc material.
  • The lesion's intradural nature was accurately diagnosed preoperatively.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare pathologies like intradural disc herniation in the differential diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome.
