LUMBAR INTRADURAL DISC HERNIATION WITH CAUDA EQUINA SYNDROME
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 28, Issue 4
Abstract
Intradural disc herniation (IDH) are very rare entities with an incidence of 0.2–2.2% among all cases of herniated discs. The incidence of cauda equine syndrome in IDH is higher than in extradural herniation. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging because of variable clinical and radiological variations. We presented a recurrent lumbar discopathy case operated for intradural disc herniation with cauda equina syndrome. Intradural disc herniation must be remembered cases with cauda equina especially in recurrent lumbar disc cases and differential diagnosis must kept in mind.
